Echoes and Elevation

7:30 pm, Friday, April 2, 2027

Guest Artist: Samir Abd-Elmessih, Horn

Join the Etobicoke Philharmonic on Friday, April 2, 2027 at Martingrove Collegiate Institute - 50 Winterton Drive, Etobicoke (map) - for Echoes and Elevation.

This evening is one of lyricism, brilliance, and symphonic power.

Farrenc’s Overture No. 1 opens with elegance and vitality, followed by Strauss’ Horn Concerto No. 1 performed by our own principal horn, Samir Abd-Elmessih.

It’s a beloved work the showcases the horn’s noble character and expressive range.

Canadian composer Marjan Mozetich’s Postcards from the Sky is a luminous, cinematic work with soaring melodies that evokes a sense of vast landscapes and expansive skies.

That same imagery come to mind in Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5, a monumental work inspired by nature and transformation. From its serene opening to its triumphant, soaring finale, this symphony captures a profound sense of renewal and elevation.
