Time to get in gear for Festival III: Steampunk Edition with this high-octane opening concert featuring the entire Windwood Music Festival. We'll start our journey with Shostakovich's piano quintet, where the prolific composer spells out the initials of his own name in a musical cryptogram. Once that puzzle has been set, we'll jump to the future with Jessie Montgomery, Duke Ellington, and Radiohead. We end with the wildly charismatic Kapustin concerto for violin and piano featuring Windwood founders, Duo Perdendosi, as well as Claude Lapalme, the conductor of the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra. This showstopper will also feature a string chamber orchestra of Windwood and Red Deer Symphony musicians. Come dressed in your steampunk best!

Premier of composer Matthias McIntire’s solo piano commission “AI Nocturne”. Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.

With Joel Quarrington, Mark Fewer, and LAMP resident string quartet.

Dark Tales finale.

Music Mondays has served as a launching pad for emerging talent, and celebration of established local talent since its inception in 1992. Our concerts take place in the warm acoustics of Holy Trinity Church, just steps away from the Eaton Centre. Our goal is to provide the highest possible musical experience to a pay-what-you-can downtown Toronto audience - office workers, tourists, retired folks, young children, the homeless, students and the musically curious. The acoustics of Holy Trinity are very special - warm and inviting. The church boasts two fine instruments: a Steinway B Concert Grand and a superb Casavant Frères tracker-action baroque organ.

David Dietz, cello and Tong Wang, piano, two renowned musicians, will discuss and perform masterpieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Sergei Prokofiev, offering a rare glimpse into the contrast between romantic and modern classical music.
