This concert is recommended for ages 4-10

Get ready for a silly and spooky afternoon of Halloween fun! From the magical mischief of Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (made famous by Sorcerer Mickey in Disney’s Fantasia) to the chills and thrills of Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, plus showstopping hits from Phantom of the Opera and Wicked, this program is brimming with ghoulish grooves and bewitching beats. Come in costume and join us for a frightfully fantastic musical adventure!

Pre-Concert Lobby Activities

Enjoy free activities an hour before the show! Try out instruments at the Instrument Discovery Zone, have fun at the Music Playground, and get into the Halloween spirit with an introductory singing workshop led by the Toronto Children's Chorus. These special half-hour singing lessons are from 12:50pm to 1:20pm and 3:20pm to 3:50pm in the North Lobby.

Relaxed Concert Option

In addition to the performances at 1:30pm and 4:00pm we also offer a Relaxed Performance option at 11:00am. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s Relaxed Performances are designed for the Neurodiverse and Disability communities, and those who enjoy a more relaxed concert setting created for comfort and inclusivity.
