We are fortunate to have the city's Archives on our doorstep. If you're a Toronto Symphony Orchestra fan, you may want to mosey over and catch this display because we're also fortunate to have our own symphony that's celebrating its 90th season.
Here are the details:
"A World of Music: Celebrating 90 Seasons with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra highlights a rich collection of photographs, documents and audio recordings.
The exhibit features an array of images drawn from the 90 year history of the orchestra, including such highlights as the TSO's debut concert at Carnegie Hall in 1963 under conductor Walter Susskind; its first overseas tour under conductor Seiji Ozawa in 1965; and the tour to China in 1978 under conductor Sir Andrew Davis with guest soloists Louis Lortie and Maureen Forrester.
Other photographs capture the performances of special guests such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Glenn Gould and images of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra, which was established in 1974.
...
The free exhibit will be on display at the Toronto Archives at 255 Spadina Rd. through May 2012. It can be viewed Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays - October to April - from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m."
Cheers,
Vanessa
