Performer: Jörgen van Rijen

Gustavo Gimeno leads the Toronto Symphony in a programme of absorbing musical abstraction and storytelling, let down by a banal new trombone concerto.

Tan Dun, Keiko Mitsuhashi, and the Tokyo Philharmonic deliver an homage concert to Toru Takemitsu, utilizing orchestral music as a “garden” and a “theatre."
