🎶 Community Outreach Concert at Humbervale Place Retirement Residence 🎶

On June 19, 2026, members of the Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra brought an evening of beautiful music to residents of Humbervale Place Retirement Residence.

From 7:00–8:00 PM, Gwynne Daynard (vocals & violin), Nieva Cunningham (cello), and Fabio Kkutnowski (bass & guitar) delighted an audience of approximately 30 residents. Many attendees were already familiar with the EPO and have enjoyed attending our concerts over the years.

A special highlight of the evening was the performance of a composition by a respected professor who had the unique distinction of teaching all three musicians. The performers were honoured to bring his music to life, and the audience warmly embraced the connection between teacher, students, and the enduring power of music.

Thank you to Humbervale Place Retirement Residence for welcoming us and helping us share the joy of live music in our community.

Dear Patrons - THANK YOU for another great season! We just can't imagine playing without you. We hope to see you, and maybe some of your friends, again next season.

It's always a pleasure to meet with audience members during intermission. We get valuable insights into what we've just played, and a good energy boost for the 2nd half of the concert.

Thank You!
