On Thursday night at Roy Thomson Hall, where incoming artistic director Gustavo Gimeno – he will begin his tenure in 2020 – conducted the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra’s CEO Matthew Loden announced a $10-million donation from the Mary and Tom estate, the largest single donation in the orchestra’s history. Over their lifetime, the Hungarian-born Becks had donated more than $20-million to the TSO.
