The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra and its musical director are the best hidden gems west of Toronto. Bravooo!! đ
Great performance, nicely explained by maestro Denis Mastromonaco before each piece. Beautiful pictures projected during the performances.
The concert program was well selected, and the performance was superb. Mississauga Symphony Orchestra will be missed during the summer months.
Loved the selections. Really enjoy familiar music while being introduced to new music. The soloists were fantastic as were the members of the orchestra who were featured!
The MSO never disappoints. The performances of their orchestra and the guests invited to sing are absolutely top notch, and the venue (Living Arts Centre) is acoustically one of the best venues for live music I have ever been to. The musical leadership of Maestro Denis Mastromonaco is simply suburb, as he takes you through a musical journey with humor, insight, and precision. I have long been a patron of the MSO, and though I have moved out of Mississauga over 15 years ago, I will continue to return to attend these amazing performances. As a bonus, if you like a wonderful buffet pre-show, the Living Arts Centre boasts an excellent restaurant. Our menu on the night of the show included a striploin roast cooked to perfection (and carved to your liking), tandoori chicken, filet of sole in a scrumptious sauce, mushroom pasta, roasted veg & potatoes, salad, charcuterie, desserts, and more.
My family enjoyed yet another magical experience from the performance of that MSO. Maestro Denis showed once again his expertise and knowledge guiding the orchestra throughout the concert. The singers were captivating. Their voice were so powerful and we feel like we were listening to the original artists. Overall, it was a breathtaking experience.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the concert by a truly talented group of performers.
The MSO, under conductor Denis Mastromonaco, was in fine form as it performed masterworks from Beethoven and Shumann last Saturday, March 29. The participation of guest artist, pianist Daniel Vnukowski, who interpreted Beethoven's Concerto No. 1, was much admired by all in attendance. He is on the list as "a pianist to watch"by New York Classical Review for good reason. He has amazing talent and lots of stage presence. In short, it was a splendid evening of music at the LAC.
Our family attended this type of performance for the first time; our boy age 10 years old and daughter 16 years old enjoyed it too. My kids take piano, moonlute and guzheng lessons. They were very impressed to see the level of efferts these performers put in. Two thumbs up for them! Also hoping to see more younger generations get involved in concerts.
Great conductor. We never have imagined that symphony orchestra concert can be this fun. My family really enjoyed the concert and we are looking forward to their next show.
