We have always loved the creative ways the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) has been inspiring kids in this city to experience classical music – from fun storytimes (we’re thinking of The Hockey Sweater with Roch Carrier) to wearing your costume to a concert (the Symphony’s Spooktacular is back, the first in the TSO’s 2019/2020 concert series.)
Here is the end of the year line-up, plus a peek at next year’s family-friendly performances:
