Music TORONTO produces a main fall-winter series of traditional and contemporary chamber music concerts and recitals, including international and Canadian artists and emerging Canadian musicians. Music TORONTO holds a special place in the GTA – it is a remarkable series, and the only solely chamber music series around. Others present excellent music, but in variety series or festival form. We have a loyal and knowledgeable audience who enjoy night after night of great concerts.We produce an annual series of Master Classes, in cooperation with the Royal Conservatory and the University of Toronto Faculty of Music; these classes give senior students of music performance the opportunity to work with visiting concert artists. Our Composer Advisor Jeffrey Ryan offers pre-concert introductions to contemporary music to demystify the experience for listeners. We also present outreach events such as concerts in alternative venues, young artist concerts in a public library, and music programmes for children.We are a mature organization with a clear mission. We have a distinguished 46-year history as a presenter both traditional and innovative. We make no apology that our focus is European chamber music; it is often considered the highest form of western classical music, and it arrived in Canada with the English and the French in the 16th century in the form of informal concerts, folk and church music.Music TORONTO: bringing traditional chamber music into the 21st century with passion and commitment.
