Spring Fling @ HCH

2:00 pm, Saturday, May 9, 2026

Guest Artist: Luke Welch, Piano

Join the Etobicoke Philharmonic on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at Humber Cultural Hub Recital Hall - 3199 Lake Shore Blvd W, Etobicoke, ON M8V 1K8 (map) - for Spring Fling @ HCH.

Treat Mom to a Saturday matinee in the Humber Cultural Hub’s intimate Recital hall. Copland’s Appalachian Spring opens with a slowly blooming introduction to musical themes that evoke a sense of open skies, fresh beginnings and simple pleasures.

Beethoven shares his solo woodland walks with us in his lush Pastorale Symphony, complete with woodwind bird calls and thunderous lower strings.

Special guest Luke Welch plays black composer Florence Price’s Piano Concerto, itself a spring-like story of re-emergence after its long lost manuscript was found. Price includes a toe-tapping theme inspired by the African juba dance.

You’ll leave refreshed with a spring in your step!

NOTE:
This is a shorter encore of our prior evening full concert, excluding two Symphony movements.
