Stomp on Front!

For our final concert of our 2015-2016 season, we return to the beautiful Glenn Gould Studio right in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district, for the fourth time. Make it a night out, with dinner at one of the countless nearby restaurants, then head over to the studio, or enjoy the concert and hit the town afterward!

The Toronto Concert Band presents “Stomp on Front”, a night of music that will fill you with rhythms, sounds, images and emotions from around the world. Its percussionists are joined by special guest Rhythm Works, with Troy Sexton (from the London and New York casts of Stomp) and Sheldon De Souza in a performance of Michael Sweeney’s Quad City Stomp. The rhythm keeps going with Tico Tico, a famous classic and fast-paced piece about an observant cuckoo bird. Enjoy the sounds of Dizzy Gillespie’s A Night In Tunisia, a saxophone feature, along with a very special arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. On the more traditional side, the tcb will conclude its season-long performance of Carmina Burana with the final five movements, perform Scenes from “The Louvre” by Norman Dello Joio, along with works by Robert W. Smith, Jacob de Haan, and more.

We hope you enjoy this fun performance to mark the end of our successful second season.
