Intérprete: Leon Fleisher

L’Orchestre symphonique de Toronto prenait d’assaut la Maison symphonique en déployant un arsenal pour le moins impressionnant : Leon Fleisher (90 ans !) dans le Concerto pour piano n°12 de Mozart et la puissante Symphonie n°8 de Bruckner.

As children, we all had our iconic heroes, famous mentors, or performers we would die to meet. It is not very often in life these dreams become reality; however, The Royal Conservatory Orchestra had the unforgettable opportunity to rehearse, study, and perform under the honorary Leon Fleisher.

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra kicked off their new year with the Mozart@256 Festival. Thursday night’s concert warmly welcomed guest conductor and pianist Leon Fleisher, as well as pianists Stewart Goodyear and Katherine Jacobson Fleisher. Leon Fleisher, at 83 years of age, continues to wow audiences around the world as a conductor, soloist, recitalist, chamber musician and masterclass mentor.
