  • Walter Hall, Edward Johnson Building 80 Queens Park Toronto, ON M5S 2C5 Canada (map)

Toronto Summer Music Festival presents “The Nightingale’s Sonata.” Part storytelling, part live music, The Nightingale’s Sonata is a wholly unique narrated concert experience. Accompanied by two acclaimed musicians and the projection of over 100 historical photographs, author Thomas Wolf recounts the life of Lea Luboshutz, the first internationally known female violinist, her incomparable Stradivarius violin (the “Nightingale”), and her multi-generational musical family, of which he is a member. Violinist Anna Štube, and pianist Philip Chiu accompany the story with a live performance of César Franck’s sonata for violin and piano, a work that is central to the family’s history. A book signing will follow the concert.
