Ron Davis and Symphronica are back from an brilliant summer in the U.K. Trafalgar Square, BBC Radio 3, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and more - what a smashing run!

From an enthusiastic SymphRONic return to the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with record-breaking audiences to performing at the official Canada 150 celebrations in London’s historic Trafalgar Square; from the release of his new solo album RythmaRON to a show at the renowned National Arts Centre, 2017 is the year of Ron Davis, and 2018 will continue the momentum with more shows, more music and more of Ron Davis’ signature style.

Ron Davis’ SymphRONica is all about the sound. They’re always entertaining, always engaging and they’ve dazzled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, including appearances on BBC Radio 3 and at the Pan Am Games, London’s SouthBank Centre and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. They’ve used
their genre-bending blend of music to wow them in Glasgow and leave them calling for more in London. SymphRONica has dazzled New York City and become Canada’s treasured source of symphRONic entertainment. Now they’re back to lead Toronto down the rhythmic path that Ron Davis and SymphRONica have discovered.
