During those dog days of summer, the Toronto Concert Orchestra is offering a concert series with a sense of fun that any music lover will enjoy. Iconic cultural figures, stories, and familiar songs and music create an intimate and inclusive atmosphere.
From July 21 to August 25, 2026, Symphony in the City concerts take place at the Palais Royale with its gorgeous views of Lake Ontario. Each of the concerts revolve around a specific theme, and audience members are invited to become part of the show by dressing up for the occasion.
Orchestral music can be artistically rich and accessible — that’s the premise. It’s the perfect city summer outing.
LV talked to Artistic Director Sharon Lee and Co-Artistic Director Marcus Scholtes about the concert series.
