One of the most compelling artists on today's international stage, Pablo Ferrández has quickly established himself as a major voice in classical music. Named after his great Spanish predecessor Pablo Casals and hailed by some as "the next Yo-Yo Ma," the Tchaikovsky Prize-winning artist opens Music Toronto's 2026?27 season with his Canadian solo recital debut. Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Casals, the program honours the legendary artist whose artistry reshaped the cello?s voice, featuring solo works by J.S. Bach, Benjamin Britten and Gaspar Cassadó.

TrickyEmerging from Bristol's creative underground scene in the early 90s, Tricky played a pivotal role in Massive Attack's early work before going solo and forging his own style - a distinctive blend of dark production, intimate vocals and genre-bending experimentation.
Along the way, he has collaborated with notable names such as PJ Harvey and Björk and released a long series of albums, each of which has expanded his musical range.
Tricky has most recently been in the news with the release Out The Way, a collaboration with Polish singer Marta. The album shows a more subdued and atmospheric direction and confirms that Tricky continues to develop his expression and explore new collaborations.
The concert at Store VEGA builds on this forward movement. Here, Tricky will present a curated selection of tracks from throughout his career – both key works and newer material – arranged in a new live format developed for the 2026 tour.
The audience can expect a concert where Tricky's special musical space unfolds: raw, intense and with the hypnotic atmosphere that has made him a unique figure in modern music.
