Young People's Concert

Saint-Georges’ Sword & Bow

Canadian Première
Sun, Nov 19, 2023 Roy Thomson Hall

Hoping to become the next great pop sensation, a young girl discovers her music teacher was the biggest star in 18th-century France. In this time-bending musical adventure, Giselle learns about life’s triumphs and tragedies from the most accomplished man in Europe, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. A captivating story of passion, dreams, legacy, and hope.

Pre-Concert Lobby Activities

En garde! In honour of Joseph Bologne, we have a never-before-attempted lobby performance featuring swords and bows. Come early to watch improvised duels (with music!) featuring the young athletes of the Toronto Fencing Club and the fiddlers Emilyn Stam & Elise Boeur.
