Anthony Terpstra has led Starlight Orchestra since 1988, making it Toronto's longest running professional big band. Our focus has always been that of playing for dancing and entertainment, rather than that of a concert jazz band. Our Juno nominated recordings include Come Fly With Me, Timeless and Timeless 2 with Colin Hunter, A Lot of Livin' To Do with George St. Kitts, Starlight Orchestra Live at the Palais Royale 1 and 2, Live at Stage West and Live in Hamilton.
Anthony Terpstra is the music director and arranger for Rick Sonata, the Rat Pack, John Morello's Dean Martin Tribute, the George St. Kitts Sammy Davis show, James Glanville, the Marilyn Monroe Show, the Brian Roman show and a Tribute to Judy Garland. Our Vocal trio, the Starlettes will be our next recording project.
