I love the music, the acoustics, the programming, the conductor and the guest soloists. The last concert showcased the principal flutist(flautist!) and harpist both of whom are world class artists. If you love classical music you will love this jewel. If you have never visited, you are in for a treat. Richard Oundjian, the conductor, brings erudition passion and vitality... More

If you are in Toronto you cannot miss a performance or two of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy Thompson Hall. The Conductor Peter Oundgian is a superb Maestro, and the musicians are excellent; both Conductor and musicians truly enjoy performing high quality music from classical to pop. Roy Thompson Hall in itself is a sight to be seen, very... More

Don't miss any opportunity that could present itself to make your acquaintance with both the Roy Thompson Hall and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. While attending orchestra's in exquisite buildings in Europe, one often feel a little deprived in the America's for not also having fabulous old venues. The Roy... More

One of the advantages of being a large metropolitan is that Toronto has the ability to attract world-class musicians to its venues. The programming at the TSO is varied and caters to a wide clientele. Before kids, my wife and I used to attend concerts very regularly. Thankfully with the family programming we can now bring our children to share... More

If you're under 30 and are looking for a night out, definitely check out TSO Sound Check - you can get awesome seats for $15! I've seen a ton of shows, and have never been disappointed.

Was here for Beethoven's 9th symphony. It was simply majestic. I had the best seats in the house, right in the front row in front of the bass instruments. Can't wait to go back
