Our Story

Come celebrate Etobicoke with us in this special collaboration with the Etobicoke Historical Society, featuring the Local Vocals pop-up choir and Etobian composers.

Artefacts on display will include a cannon ball from the War of 1812, so of course we'll play Tchaikovsky's thrilling 1812 Overture.

The jaunty Log Drivers Waltz , performed by Local Vocals, sets an upbeat tone that Etobian composer Gary Kulesha continues with his joyful Celebration Overture .

Did you know that world-famous pianist and composer Oscar Peterson was a Mimico resident? Hear his Hymn to Freedom, which inspired our full 'docu-concert' coming February 1.

We also perform Mozart’s Paris Symphony (No. 31) which was captivating Europe when Etobicoke was known as Adobigok, home to the Mississaugas of the New Credit Nation.
