Kingston Symphony strives to bring you inspiration, amazement, innovation, and perhaps most importantly, emotional connection. It is at the very heart of what we do. Our offerings this season showcase a program that gives you the classics by revered composers, faithfully performed by our outstanding orchestra, while introducing you to a number of world-class musicians as guest artists. Prepare to be wowed!
The Kingston Symphony's 2024-2025 season is full of excitement and imagination! Enjoy great offerings from our Masterworks Series, Pops Series, Family Series, and bask in holiday cheer at our special Candlelight Christmas performances.
Our Masterworks Series includes a performance of Ligeti's titanic Violin Concerto, the world concert premiere of Austin Wintory's Traveler - A Journey Symphony (from the critically-acclaimed 2012 video game Journey), a reimagining of Hindemith's Flute Sonata, and new commissions from favourite composers such as John Burge. The series also features an assortment of symphonic staples by Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Haydn, and Schumann.
Our Pops Series has something for everyone - from an exploration of the music of sci-fi alongside a smorgasbord of Tasty Tunes from the phenomenal Quartetto Gelato, plus a brand new video game concert featuring some of the planet's most skilled players completing speedruns of Cuphead and Celeste with the orchestra performing in sync with the gameplay! We are convinced it's a first of its kind concert concept.
Harmon the Hound as well as a special performance of Peter and the Wolf return to the stage to headline our Family Series. Absolute fun for all ages! And our beloved Candlelight Christmas concerts, a staple of the season, are carefully designed to give that special warm Christmassy feeling from top of show to the very last note.
Come celebrate a season of wonderful music with the Kingston Symphony!
