Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra opens the 2018-19 Concert Season with Schumann's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major (Rhenish) Arvo Pärt's Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten and Dvořák's Slavonic Dances, Op. 46
TORONTO, ON - The Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra (CBSO), under the direction of Norman Reintamm, opens its' 2018-19 season with a concert on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. The program includes Schumann's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 97 (Rhenish), Dvořák's Slavonic Dances, Op. 46, Arvo Pärt's Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten, and Verdi's Overture to Luisa Miller.
In Symphony No. 3, the last symphony he composed, Schumann created one of the great German romantic music landscapes, evoking "a piece of life by the Rhine". Pärt greatly admired Benjamin Britten, whom he considered a kindred spirit, even though the two never met. The Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten was composed as an elegy to mourn Britten's death in 1976. Dvořák's Slavonic Dances are considered among his most memorable works, consisting of lively dances, full of national character.
Maestro Norman Reintamm started his musical career as a pianist at the age of four. He was later accepted to the Royal College of Music in London, England, and worked as Senior Staff Conductor at the Estonian National Opera for many years, at the same time heading the Opera Department at the Estonian Music Academy, and conducting in the Opera Department of the famed Sibelius Academy of Finland. He has guest conducted many orchestras in Europe and Canada, conducted ballet at the famed Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, England, and is the pianist for Trio Estonia based in Tallinn, Estonia.
The concert will be held at P.C. Ho Theatre in the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto at 5183 Sheppard Avenue East. Tickets can be purchased online, www.cathedralbluffs.com or through the Box Office by phone at (416) 879-5566.

Arvo Pärt is the predominant composer alive at this time!
He admired Benjamin Britten and was saddened when Britten died before Pärt could meet him.
He mourned Britten with a composition: "Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten".
It's a "must listen"; one of many instant classics!
