Toronto All Stars Steel Orchestra
Ciao! Toronto All Stars Steel Orchestra (TASSO) is touring Italy! Since the beginning of this year, TASSO has been preparing for our 2023 trip to Italy where we will be performing in Tuscany, Cremona, Mondaino, Todi and Roma. We are very excited and feel privileged to be representing Canada once again on the world stage.
TORONTO ALL STARS Steel Orchestra has performed at many of Toronto's most prestigious performing arts venues, including Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall. Since its founding in 2000, TASSO has become a fixture at community events, supporting many charitable causes like the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, the OneWalk to Conquer Cancer, and the Journey to Conquer Cancer annual fundraisers. TASSO also performs annually at the launch of the Scotiabank Toronto Caribbean Carnival and the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. In 2004, TASSO made its first international trip representing Canada in Aberdeen, Scotland. In 2007, it represented Canada at the international youth music festival in Sydney, Australia, where it performed at the Sydney Opera House. After making a return visit to Scotland in 2009, TASSO toured Italy in 2011 and Central Europe in 2013, commanding audiences in such celebrated cities as Florence, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, and Prague. Following another return trip to Aberdeen in 2015, TASSO travelled again to Sydney where in 2017 it took the gold medal in international competition. In 2019, TASSO toured the Spanish cities of Alicante, Barcelona and Valencia. This year's repertoire for the 2022/23 season comprises a mixture of Classical, Jazz, Calypso, Contemporary, and Pop genres plus original compositions by band leader and founder, Salmon Cupid.
