Getting ready for next September.
It will be our 23rd season.
We had a successful 2025 festival. It was the first year for our new Artistic Director Paul Marleyn, and with his fresh perspective Paul programmed a memorable series of concerts – judge for yourself:
BRASS IN THE PARK
We always start with a free outdoor concert. This year we brought in The True North Brass.
YOGA+CELLO
Gentle yoga class accompanied by Bach’s Six Suites for Cello Solo.
ARION BAROQUE ENSEMBLE
Eighteenth century program with artists form one of Canada’s most celebrated Baroque ensembles.
THE KITCHEN REVUE
Quirky chamber ensemble masterpiece La Revue de Cuisine by Bohuslav Martinu (and narrated by CBC’s Tom Allen) was the highlight of this concert.
TECHNIQUES OF CREATIVITY
Workshop on practical techniques for clarifying vision, building effective habits, and breaking through creative barriers.
FOUR PLAY CELLO!
Our Artistic Director Paul Marleyn is a cellist, he invited three of his colleagues, and they had fun – from Vivaldi to Beatles to Metallica.
