AFFAIRS OF THE HEART - Sinfonia Toronto Masterpiece concert January 21, 2011

JUDY KANG’S ‘AFFAIRS OF THE HEART’ WITH SINFONIA TORONTO

Award-winning violinist Judy Kang will perform with Sinfonia Toronto on Friday, January 21 at 8 pm in Glenn Gould Studio. She will perform the expressive Affairs of the Heart for solo violin and orchestra by Canada’s JUNO award-winning composer Marjan Mozetich. The orchestra’s Music Director Nurhan Arman will conduct. Other works on the program are Mozart’s Quartet K 157 in an orchestral version and Fuchs’ romantic Serenade in E Minor.

Toronto-born violinist Judy Kang is a rising star on the international music scene. Her remarkable musical prowess has resulted in a successful career as a soloist, including her critically acclaimed New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall.

Marjan Mozetich is one of Canada’s foremost composers, and is Sinfonia Toronto’s 2010-2011 Composer-in-Residence. His compellingly beautiful music has been played by many orchestras, ensembles and soloists.

Acclaimed as “a world-class ensemble” by Germany’s Russelsheimer Echo, Sinfonia Toronto is one of Canada’s finest chamber orchestras. Its repertoire includes all the major works for string orchestra from baroque to contemporary, and it has premiered many new works. It is based at CBC Glenn Gould Studio, where many of its concerts have been recorded for national broadcast. Other recordings include a CD of works by Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and Khachaturian; a world-premiere recording of the newly discovered J.S. Bach aria ‘Alles mit Gott,’ released by Analekta on iTunes; and the JUNO winner Flanders Field Reflections, a Marquis Classics (EMI) CD of music by John Burge.

Sinfonia Toronto’s Music Director Nurhan Arman has conducted throughout the world to great critical acclaim. His upcoming international engagements include performances with the Moscow Philharmonic, Belgrade Philharmonic and Mexico’s UANL Monterrey Symphony.
