| | M. H. Murray’s latest film, I Don’t Know Who You Are, follows Benjamin, a young artist scraping by in Toronto, as he struggles to afford the exorbitant cost of HIV-prevention drugs after being sexually assaulted by a stranger. We caught up with Murray to talk about the line between fiction and reality, Toronto’s unspoken class divides and how our health care system has failed to make HIV care properly accessible. |

| | The TSO is kicking off its 101st year with an even more historic number: Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. It’s performed by world-renowned pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet along with the Spanish conductor and music director of the TSO, Gustavo Gimeno. The two will take on Lili Boulanger’s 1918 D’un matin de printemps and George Gershwin’s 1925 composition Piano Concerto in F before ending with Stravinsky’s 1913 ballet.
