Toronto Symphony Orchestra – Scheherazade

🎻 Experience an unforgettable evening of classical music when the Toronto Symphony Orchestra presents Scheherazade at Toronto’s iconic Roy Thomson Hall on Saturday, March 6, 2027, at 7:30 PM. The program brings together contemporary orchestral music, Mozart’s dramatic piano concerto, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s richly imaginative symphonic suite.

🎼 Leading the performance is dynamic conductor-pianist Maxim Emelyanychev, who takes the audience through a program beginning with Jay Capperauld’s The Origin of Colour, receiving its North American Première. The program then moves into Mozart’s stormy Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466, before culminating in Rimsky-Korsakov’s celebrated Scheherazade.

🌊 Inspired by the legendary tales of One Thousand and One Nights, Scheherazade combines sweeping orchestral melodies, dramatic contrasts, vivid storytelling, and a memorable violin “storyteller.” The work’s adventurous atmosphere makes it a compelling choice for both longtime classical-music enthusiasts and listeners discovering symphonic music for the first time.

✨ Expect an elegant concert experience at Roy Thomson Hall, one of Toronto’s major performing-arts venues. Whether you are passionate about orchestral repertoire, Mozart and Rimsky-Korsakov, or simply looking for an engaging cultural experience in Toronto, this performance offers an evening of live music and musical storytelling.
