In making the tour announcement, Maestro
Nurhan Arman
noted that, “Touring is an important part of an orchestra’s life. We love playing for our audiences in Toronto and throughout Ontario, but we also want to represent Toronto and Canadian music and Canadian talent to the wider world, as we will in this upcoming tour. We have chosen programs that will show off the skills and versatility of our musicians and composers and display Canadian creativity.”
Maestro Arman has selected two unique programs for the tour. Music by Canadian composers Marjan Mozetich and Chan Ka Nin will be featured together with works by Britten, Dvorak and Mozart. Clarinetist Julian Milkis will perform the orchestral version of Weber's Clarinet Quintet and a number of popular short selections.
The tour is organized and managed by the US-based agency World Touring LLC. World Touring has promoted and toured orchestras, chamber ensembles and solo artists for three decades, with particular emphasis and success in the Far East, South America and United States. Sinfonia Toronto's South American tour is supported by a Touring Project grant from the Ontario Arts Council.
