Toronto Summer Music Festival brings outstanding classical music experiences to the city in the summer with a program featuring renowned Canadian and international artists in 24 mainstage concerts, plus masterclasses, free outreach concerts, lectures, and workshops.

The 2016 Festival theme, London Calling! celebrates the vast musical traditions of Great Britain – from the Baroque to the 20th century pop British Invasion – with a special focus on the music of great British composers including Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Britten, Walton, and many more.

Performances by celebrated artists include pianists Jeremy Denk and Christopher O’Riley, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, the Parker and Dover String Quartets, and a semi-staged production of Benjamin Britten’s chamber opera The Rape of Lucretia by Against The Grain’s Artistic Director Joel Ivany.
