"Join the New Symphony Orchestra on Monday September 15th at 9:30pm for the FINAL instalment of our Tranzac residency:

A Great Spark of Light

This performance will feature our largest ensemble yet (15 musicians) as we embark on an improvised rendition of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.

If you haven’t seen the number one symphony orchestra in Toronto yet, this may be your last chance for some time as we will be taking a brief pause after a very busy 8 months.

The Orchestra:

Clarinet - Zack Goldstein Flute/Piccolo - Sara Constant Bassoon - Taran Massey-Singh Alto Saxophone - Ben Rositsan Tenor Saxophone - Maxwell Stover Trumpet - Fionn Ling French Horn - Charlotte Alexander Trombone - Hanna Wilson Violin - Sara May Viola - Arie Verheul Van de Ven Cello - Andrew Park Bass - Connor Crone Guitar - Ray Goudy Piano - Ben Mike Percussion - Jaz Tsui

The New Symphony Orchestra (NSO) is an independent and transformative musical organization committed to redefining the classical music experience. Born from a desire to challenge the conventions of the traditional symphony orchestra, the NTSO offers a fresh, critical approach that both satirizes and celebrates the art form. Through an emphasis on improvisation and interdisciplinary experimentation, our organization hopes to reignite the spirit through which this music was first born, imbuing its performance and interpretations with spontaneity, risk taking, and unencumbered authenticity.
