Up Close and Personal: SPO concert on Oct. 30th

In concerts past, the Sneek Peak Orchestra has brought you performances on an epic scale.  This October, we let you, the audience, get to know us a little better.  The Sneak Peek Orchestra presents Up Close and Personal, a chamber concert.  Featuring groups made up of SPO players like Passport Duo and Blythwood Winds, this intimate affair lets the audience get to know different instrument groups in a warm and inviting atmosphere.  We will also have the pleasure of hearing performances by our artistic co-founders, Victor Cheng and Kevin Lau, as they present an all-new arrangement, Fantasy on Themes from Harry Potter.  The concert takes place October 30th at 3:00pm at the beautiful Heliconian Hall (35 Hazelton Avenue, in Yorkville).  Tickets are $20 general admission, $10 for children/students/seniors. You can purchase tickets right here on our website and while you’re at it, take a listen to some of our past performances!

CONCERT POSTPONEMENT

Due to unforeseen circumstances and scheduling conflicts, the SPO has had to postpone their final concert of the year. The majority of performers are from major music schools in the area, and this has turned out to be an extremely busy end-of-semester for everyone.

But are we going to rest? No sirree! In the mean time we will be working on a number of projects, including fundraising, taking on the social networks, and seeking out new performances around town. Most importantly, we are getting this amazing new website up and running!

Please stay tuned for future excitement!

Tim Crouch, Executive Director

Dreamscape: SPO concert on April 9th

Update 2: Concert has been postponed!

Update: Concert date has been changed from March 18th to April 9th.

To round off our successful season, the Sneak Peek Orchestra will be taking you on a journey of flight and fancy in Dreamscapes, our final concert in the series.

We take off in Scandinavia with Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia, and then let violinist Alexa Wilks transport us to the fields of England with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending. Toronto composer and orchestra member Rob Teehan’s Juno-nominated Dreams of Flying brings us home with a fresh and brilliant sound followed by Voyage to the East, composed by Kevin Lau, SPO’s composer-in-residence.

SPO’s energetic performance and engaging narrative has become a trademark of our concerts. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience what is sure to be an electric and memorable evening as we look forward to our next season.

The concert will take place Saturday March 19th, at 8 pm, at Calvin Presbyterian Church (26 Delisle Avenue, near Yonge and St. Clair). Tickets are $15 for students, $20 regular. You can also pay for tickets online in advance at a special discount price!
