About Us

Glatz Loft Concerts brings classical, film, folk, jazz, and video game concerts to audiences in concert halls worldwide, producing and promoting exceptional live music experiences since 1987. 

​

Since 1995, the company’s signature presentation has been its annual Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert. This European-inspired celebration, filled with Viennese waltzes, song, and dance, regularly sells out major North American concert halls from the Lincoln Center in New York to Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto. Performing in about 20 cities each season with seven touring casts, this concert series celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025.

​

From classical virtuosos like Itzhak Perlman and Anne-Sophie Mutter to crossover artists like Jesse Cook and David Foster, Glatz Loft Concerts brings extraordinary performers to audiences across North America. This includes the annual Bravissimo! New Year’s at the Opera, presented in partnership with Roy Thomson Hall and the Canadian Opera Company each New Year’s Eve in Toronto. 

Glatz Loft Concerts has been producing film with live orchestra performances throughout Canada and parts of the U.S. for more than a decade. Past performances include Titanic Live, Amadeus Live, West Side Story: Film with Live Orchestra, How to Train Your Dragon in Concert, Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert Live to Film, The Harry Potter™ Film Concert Series, and many more. 

​

Beyond the concert hall, the company has produced numerous broadcast specials in partnership with PBS SoCal. The largest Salute to Vienna production, filmed at the Vienna’s Konzerthaus for public television in 2013, aired more than 2,000 times on PBS, followed by the 2020 PBS special A Salute to Vienna and Budapest, filmed at Budapest’s Vigado Theatre. Other PBS co-productions of note include Classicalia (a global juried classical music competition for youth), The New Divas: Live from Vienna, and Peter Bence: Pianosphere in Paris.
