Colin Stetson live in Toronto

Experience Colin Stetson live on September 9th

Colin Stetson is scheduled to perform at The Opera House in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on September 9, 2026. Stetson is a saxophonist and composer known for his intensely physical and circular breathing techniques, creating dense, layered soundscapes often described as experimental jazz, avant-garde classical, or drone music. His performances frequently involve extended solos utilizing multiphonics – producing multiple notes simultaneously on a single-reed instrument – and a highly visceral performance style. He has released several critically acclaimed albums including *New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges* and *All This I Do For Glory*.

The Opera House, located on Queen Street East in Toronto, originally opened as a vaudeville theatre in 1909. Throughout its history it has functioned as a movie palace and a live performance venue hosting diverse acts. It underwent significant renovations in the 1980s which restored many of its original architectural features while adapting it for modern concert use. The venue is recognized for its ornate interior, including detailed plasterwork and a standing-room general admission area in front of the stage offering close proximity to performers.
