After 13 illustrious years on the TSO podium, and an international concert career spanning decades, TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian invites you inside his triumphant 2017/18 season.

Reflecting on your enviable tenure at the helm of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, how does it feel to be entering 2017/18—your final TSO season?My final season. It’s incredible. I was born in Toronto, and lived here with my family for five years. To think that I’ve been able to come back to my city of birth and have this kind involvement in the cultural life of Toronto!.!.!!.!it’s an astonishing piece of fate. To stand on the TSO podium is an exhilarating experience. That’s really the biggest joy.

What do you look forward to in 2017/18?It has been a pleasure for us to work together to create a season that is truly celebratory. I have so many great friends coming to play. And I'm especially looking forward to the grand finale in June, when Roy Thomson Hall will be filled with the sounds of Beethoven 9!

The TSO is part of the cultural fabric, something that we’re all proud of. So many people have been touched by the TSO, one way or another. I trust Torontonians are aware they have a great, thriving orchestra. We are very lucky.

What would you add, on a personal note?I have been surrounded with exceptional human beings, who have been kind and

generous. I could walk into my library and look at many hundreds of scores, all of which have the potential to be very beautiful or very dramatic—but none of it is possible without the human beings. Being Music Director of the TSO will always be the most incredible highlight and privilege of my life.
