Summer Music is Stratfords other festival and each and every year they provide an amazing lineup of world renowned musical entertainment. Last year the acclaimed Gramaphone Magazine listed this festival as one of the top twelve summer music festivals in North America alongside major players like New York. The festival runs July 15 to August 25.
After listening to a presentation by Artistic Producer John Miller here are a few highlights that should not be missed.
Recently a group of Canadian Jazz icons got together to perform at a fundraiser. They soon discovered that one of the things they all had in common is that they had all been awarded the Royal Order of Canada. This group now calls themselves Canadian Jazz Legends of the Highest Order and they will be performing a cabaret at the church restaurant. Tickets are $85 including dinner, or $40 for the show only.
A group of young opera performers that have been touring Ontario by bicycle will be giving several pay what you can performances at Revel Cafe.
Acordian player Joseph Macerollo will be doing a concert series at Rundles Restaurant featuring selections from his time working with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti and Edith Piaf.
Miller is also very excited to present the Vienna boys choir this year. He states that it is very rare for this choir to do multiple performances in one location. Now in their 600th year the choir is one of the oldest and most renowned choirs in the world. On July 30 the choir will be joined by internationally acclaimed Canadian tenor, Michael Schade. Miller states that anywhere else in the world a ticket to a concert of this caliber could cost hundreds of dollars, but at this festival it is a steal of a deal at $50.
In a tribute to composer Murray Schafer who will be celebrating his 80th birthday during the festival there will be a repeat of his Music Wilderness Lake. In this work 12 trombones play a haunting melodic conversation on the shores of the Avon and sunrise. This is then followed by an aria sung from a canoe by soprano Brooke Dufton. A few years ago we took our guests down to see this performance and it was breathtaking. It is probably one of our most memorable experiences in Stratford and we would highly recommend you experience it for yourself.
Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay will also be performing. These young people play instruments built from recycled trash. There story is amazing but it would take me pages to tell it all so please click on the links below to get the details.
