Anne-Sophie Mutter—the “undisputed queen of violin-playing” (The Times, London)—returns to Roy Thomson Hall with the Mutter Virtuosi, an exclusive ensemble of 14 hand-picked string players and scholarship recipients of her foundation. In her final appearance on her North American tour, the four-time GRAMMY Award winner will perform Vivaldi’s beloved Four Seasons – a work that gets under your skin, still as fresh and invigorating as its first performance in 1725. Completing the program with a concerto by Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and Unsuk Chin’s Gran Cadenza, a virtuoso duo for violins, Anne-Sophie Mutter will bring to Toronto her signature and captivating “rich, glossy tone and glamorous stage presence” (New York Times).
