Main Text
Tangible evidence of the international flavor of the performing arts are preparations by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra to take part in the Commonwealth Arts Festival in Great Britain this year. Alongside symphony orchestras, choirs, musicians and dancers from Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Ceylon, Kenya, Hong Kong, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Uganda - from Commonwealth countries around the globe - the Toronto Symphony Orchestra will perform for audiences in London, Glasgow and perhaps Liverpool and Cardiff during the festival which lasts from September 16 until October 2. The famous orchestra from Canada will add another international note to the festival in the person of its brilliant new conductor, Seiji Ozawa from Japan. This 28-year-old graduate of Tokyo's Toho School of Music has conducted many of the world's leading orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony. During the festival in Britain, Toronto's 85-musician orchestra will again enhance Toronto's prestige, display to a worldwide audience the musical stature of Canada.
