About the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO):
For more than a century, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) has played a fundamental role in shaping and celebrating Canadian culture. Now in our 102nd year, the TSO’s commitment to musical excellence and ability to spark connection remain as strong as ever. With a storied history of acclaimed concerts and recordings, Canadian and international tours, and impactful community partnerships, we are dedicated to engaging and enriching local and national communities through vibrant musical experiences. Music Director Gustavo Gimeno brings an expansive artistic vision, intellectual curiosity, and sense of adventure to programming the 93-musician orchestra that serves Toronto—one of the world’s most diverse cities. As a group of artists, teachers, and advocates who share the belief that music has the power to heal, inspire, and connect people from all walks of life, we engage audiences young and old through an array of community-access, health-and-wellness, and education initiatives including the TSO-affiliated Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra—a tuition-free training program dedicated to cultivating the next generation of Canadian artists. Join us for a concert at Roy Thomson Hall, or experience the TSO in your neighbourhood. Visit TSO.CA or Newsroom.TSO.CA.

About the Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee (TSVC):
The Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023. The TSVC is a major contributor to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s operating costs and to the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra’s tuition-free enrollment, as well as a support to many of the TSO’s educational programs. The TSVC has also endowed orchestra chairs, gifted musical instruments, commissioned compositions and provided financial support for several recordings.
In 2022, The Toronto Symphony Foundation (TSF) established the Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee Endowment Fund for the TSYO Conductor (Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra). This Fund will benefit the Toronto Symphony Orchestra by way of a gift in the cumulative sum of $1,000,000. This gift was made in recognition of the TSO’s 100th Anniversary and in celebration of the TSVC’s 100th Anniversary.
