KERRY STRATTON CONDUCTS CANADIAN DEBUT CONCERT OF VIENNA CONCERT-VEREIN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Two dynamic musical forces unite Thursday, April 6 in Toronto, when Kerry Stratton conducts the Concert-Verein Orchestra of the famed Vienna Symphony, in their Canadian debut. The concert is presented by International Touring Productions.

This is the second year that Kerry Stratton has toured a leading European orchestra in Canada. Last year, he brought the Sir Georg Solti Orchestra of Budapest to Toronto and nearby communities.

Maestro Stratton remains Conductor and Music Director of the Toronto Philharmonia, orchestra-in-residence at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, and Principal Guest Conductor with the Karlsbad Symphony of the Czech Republic. His recorded catalogue includes the world premiere recording of Liszt's De Profundis, and music by Alan Hovhaness, as well as a CD of Slavic composers and a Dvorak disc. His promotion of Czech and Slovak culture earned him the Masaryk Award. A new, all-Brahms recording is scheduled in 2006 with the Nuremberg Symphony for Sony Korea.
