Brace yourself for the volcanic drama of Puccini's Tosca the spiritual ecstasy of Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony, along with your favourite music from Brahms, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and Ravel.

Along the way, you'll witness many of today's most captivating performers at work, including pianists Lang Lang, Jan Lisiecki, and Stewart Goodyear; violinists Joshua Bell and James Ehnes; cellists Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Bryan Cheng; and Canadian ensembles Les Violons du Roy and Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. 

Our Pops Series dials up the fun with tributes to Aretha Franklin and Latin pop music, blockbuster film scores, and the dazzling acrobatics of Troupe Vertigo conducted by Jack Everly.
