A Journey of Triumph | Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra Celebrates 50 Years

“Welcome to the culmination of a half-century of talent development and community-building for thousands of young artists,” wrote Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra Conductor Simon Rivard in the program book for the April 27 concert, Titan: A Celebration of the TSYO’s 50th Anniversary! “By putting together, year after year, a group of highly talented youth and providing them, free of charge, with an array of musical opportunities…the TSO has cultivated what I believe to be the most ambitious program for young musicians in Canada.” In his preview of the performance for the Toronto Star, Joshua Chong agreed, saying that, “Over the past five decades, the TSYO has firmly established itself as one of the country’s most important orchestras for young musicians, offering a space for them to hone their craft alongside professional musicians.”
