The Glory of Baroque is Sinfonia Toronto’s warm and colourful program to melt the midwinter chill.

Conductor Nurhan Arman will lead the concert that will feature several members of the orchestra in brilliant baroque concertos. Canada will be well represented among the baroque masters as Violist Julian Knight will play the world-premiere of Toronto composer Ronald Royer’s Viola Concerto written in a baroque style.

Other soloists will be Chinese violin virtuoso Xiaohan Guo in Bach’s E Major Violin Concerto; Violinist Phoebe Tsang in Vitali’s Chaconne; Cellist Andras Weber in a brilliant Tartini concerto.

There will be a free post-concert reception, giving audience members a chance to meet members of the orchestra, the conductor and the soloist.
