Dear OT Community, It is with great grief that we

Dear OT Community,

It is with great grief that we share with you the sad news of the death of Principal Cellist Tom Mueller.

We are all shocked and saddened to lose a truly gifted cellist, generous teacher, caring section leader, good friend, and truly funny guy.

Tom brought boundless enthusiasm, creativity, and wit to everything he did with Orchestra Toronto, whether it was trading quips at rehearsal, performing solo in fund-raising recitals, or preparing for sectionals with great care.

In the words of Music Director Michael Newnham:

"Tom Mueller has been what we may call a 'binding element’ in the fabric of OT. There has always been a lot said about his particular sense of humour that was continually on display, helping lighten things up during intense moments at rehearsals, and also of his all-encompassing musicianship and his sovereign mastery of the cello. There is no way anyone can forget those ridiculous corgi hats or other ‘accessories’ that Tom showed up wearing on a Thursday evening. What we also had in Tom, though, was a very empathetic, gentle and kind-hearted colleague and friend. It always felt good to be around Tom, and the fact that he was there made us all feel reassured that everything was going to go well in a performance. Along with you, I am feeling his loss greatly. Thank you so much, Tom, for the time you gave us and for all that you shared."

We’re holding Tom's family in our hearts as they navigate this deeply distressing time.

We will be dedicating our first concert of the season, Symphony Pathétique, to Tom’s memory.

We know that our community joins Michael and the musicians of OT in grieving the loss of a gifted musician, generous teacher and community member, and kind friend. We will miss Tom terribly.

Playing together is at the heart of what we do.
