Inna Perkis and Boris Zarankin Founders & Artistic Directors

It is hard to believe that we are on the cusp of welcoming our 25th Season, so forgive us if we are waxing a bit nostalgic. This season, we revisit all our favourite haunts – we spend a day following our beloved Schubert around, we embrace the magic of 3/4 time with a languorous waltz, we tip our hats to Beethoven above all (and after all), and we imagine the intersections - and missed connections - of some of our composer friends.

Off Centre Music Salon began as an attempt to find the magical, inclusive atmosphere of the Viennese and Parisian Salons of the 19th Century. At a time when the concert hall experience had become almost clinical in its austerity, we felt the need, more than ever, to go back to a time when music was intimately shared, when concerts told a story and created personal connections for audience and performer alike.

This fall, we welcome you back to our “home” at Toronto’s Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre – to do just that. To put the daily grind on hold and together, to take a slow meander through the world of yesterday.

See you soon,

Inna Perkis & Boris Zarankin

IN THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY…

Schubertiad: A day with Schubert

Runaway Waltz

Beethoven, after all

Intersections

“I live and compose like a God, as if it had been so decreed.”

– Franz Schubert

“Now is the time when trembling on its stem Each flower fades away like incense; Sounds and scents turn in the evening air; A melancholy waltz, a soft and giddy dizziness.”

– Charles Baudelaire

“There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is, and to love it.”

- Romain Rolland

“The more people I meet the happier I become. From the meanest creature one departs wiser, richer, more conscious of one’s blessings. Even you . . . even you, who knows, will have added to my store.”

- Samuel Beckett
