Esprit Orchestra

Canada's only full-sized professional orchestra devoted exclusively to new orchestral music, Esprit Orchestra was founded in 1983 under Music Director Alex Pauk. The ensemble performs at Koerner Hall and champions living composers from Canada and around the world, presenting adventurous programs that introduce Toronto audiences to the full range of 20th and 21st century orchestral writing. Esprit has commissioned and premiered hundreds of works and runs extensive educational outreach programs.
