Toronto Symphony Orchestra 2025-26 Season Info
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra begins the season in September with Carmina Burana, joined by the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, Toronto Children’s Chorus, and three soloists making TSO debuts. The energy continues with Beethoven’s Pastoral later in the month, followed by Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, performed by Concertmaster Jonathan Crow, in early October. Mid-October also brings Mozart & R. Strauss, a program featuring Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 and a suite from Der Rosenkavalier. As October draws to a close and into November, the Orchestra presents Debussy & Sibelius, and then returns with a performance by violinist Joshua Bell in mid-November. End-of-fall events include Live Recording Romeo & Juliet and Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake around late November into the holiday stretch.
As the year turns, December includes TSO’s tradition with Messiah, featuring soloists Lauren Snouffer, Susan Platts, Anthony León, and Gerald Finley. From January through February, audiences will hear The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, The Firebird, and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Moving into March, Joshua Bell returns for a program combining Bruch with Beethoven; April features Boléro followed by Tchaikovsky’s Fifth. Leading toward season’s end in May, the Orchestra offers Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, and concludes with an Epic Wagner – Legends & Lore program.
Throughout the season there are multiple “Young People’s Concerts” and family-friendly programs like Let’s Dance!, Tricks, Treats ’n’ Tunes, The Composer Is Dead, and She Holds Up the Stars, which combine music with story-telling, movement, and visual art to engage a broad audience. There are also Relaxed Performances designed for audiences who appreciate a more flexible concert environment, including versions of Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony. Guest artists include Lang Lang and composer Joe Hisaishi, among others, and there are Canadian premieres and newly commissioned works woven in alongside core masterworks.
