It’s been a busy late-summer with a number of exciting season announcements rolling in. One such announcement caught my eye, namely Anne-Sophie Mutter’s Mutter Virtuosi chamber orchestra making a special stop in Toronto on November 21, 8 p.m. at Roy Thomson Hall.

Founded in Munich in 1997, The Mutter Virtuosi are a group of 14 hand-picked alumni of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation, which seeks to develop young, talented string soloists.  Anne-Sophie Mutter performs with them as well, giving them the opportunity to experience life as a professional musician, and since 2011, participate in tours for audiences across the world.

The young ensemble will be performing two of chamber music’s most treasured works: Mendelssohn’s sparkling and animated Octet and Vivaldi’s classic The Four Seasons. Opening the show will be Ringtones, by the American composer Sebastian Currier which was commissioned especially for the Mutter Virtuosi.

Tickets, $39-139, and info are available from www.roythomson.com  or www.showoneproductions.ca
