We are happy to present a very exciting program for our 8th concert, featuring all-time favourites by Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Bernstein and Marquéz!
The University of Toronto Campus Philharmonic Orchestra is a campus-wide orchestra open for non-music majors at undergrad and graduate levels, as well as faculty, staff, and community members who play an orchestral instrument and want to take some time off their routines to play music in a positive and stimulating environment. The orchestra was founded and directed by doctoral student Lorenzo Guggenheim, and it is currently also conducted by Shawn Bennett, master’s student. From the beginning it has been a full size symphonic orchestra that performs works of the large orchestral repertoire once per semester. We believe in creating interdisciplinary collaboration and interdepartmental connections across campus as part of the academic experience and generating a broader sense of community. We have performed several concerts at MacMillan Theatre and also our annual summer concert at the Royal Ontario Museum for thousands of attendees. www.facebook.com/UofTCPO
