PRINCE GEORGE – The Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) is one of Canada’s most well-respected orchestras and cultural institutions, and leading the way is Prince George’s own Jonathan Crow. Serving as the TSO’s Concertmaster, Crow explained he has many responsibilities, which include but aren’t limited to representing the orchestra for the audience, making sure the strings section sounds good, and often working with the conductor to help the orchestra sound just right. If you’re a sports fan, you can think of the concertmaster as the captain of a team, while the conductor is more akin to a coach.
For Prince George to see representation at such a high level is nothing short of amazing for our arts scene, and we’ll have the chance to see him perform live at the Knox Performance Centre on February 13 at 7:00 p.m.
“It’s always a pleasure to come back and see some of my old friends, colleagues, and see the new musicians that are coming up in Prince George that might become professional musicians one day, or just love playing music. I played in the Prince George Symphony since I was 12, and having the chance to play in an orchestra like that and learn a lot of the big repertoire that I now play as concertmaster of the TSO, that’s kind of amazing,” Crow said when discussing his return.
