Musical gems old and new will sparkle at Sinfonia Toronto’s next Masterpiece Series concert on Thursday, November 12, taking place at Glenn Gould Studio. Polish guest conductor Jan Milosz Zarzycki will make his Canadian debut in Toronto and Sinfonia vioilinist Alex Toskov will be heard in Chausson’s Poem, one of the most romantic works written for the violin. The concert will include Canadian composer John Burge’s JUNO winning ‘Flanders Fields Reflections’ and two popular works by Telemann and Vivaldi.

Foreign tours have taken him to Germany, France, Austria, Holland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Italy, Ukraine, Macedonia, the United States, Portugal, Mexico, Norway, Belgium, Lithuania and Belarus. He has recorded ten albums.

A member of Sinfonia Toronto violinist Alex Toskov has performed as soloist with the Serbian Radio Symphony, served as concertmaster of the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra in 2006 and of the Deutsch-Skandinavische Jugend Philharmonie in 2009. Originally from Serbia, in Canada Mr. Toskov won the Glenn Gould School’s 2011 Chamber Music Competition.
