Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra: Agony and Ecstasy Concert

Friday, March 21, 2025
8:00 PM – 10:00 PM

A concert of deeply moving works that will be cathartic for you as they were for their composers across three different centuries.

Dmitri Shostakovich, Symphony No. 10

A melancholy waltz, machine gun fire, a secret lover’s name… it’s all in this powerful and deeply moving masterwork – a Russian's journey from suffering through defiance and ultimately to strength and power.

Johannes Brahms, Tragic Overture

In 1880 Brahms wrote a pair of contrasting overtures: “One of them weeps, the other laughs.” His Tragic Overture may not weep, but it does have an emotional resonance that is powerfully affecting.

Simon Rivet Ellipse of a Cry

Grand prize winner of our 2023/24 Young Composer Competition. Exhale, sit back and immerse yourself in this hauntingly beautiful, other-worldly piece.

Matthew Jones, Music Director
