Each year at this time it is my great pleasure to extend congratulations to the

organizers of the Festival of the Sound.

The Festival, now in its 32nd season, is part of the cultural foundation of the

area and a perennial highlight of the summer. Again this season the

programme offers a diversity of talent, from Beethoven to big band jazz. The

exquisite calibre of performers has become a hallmark of the Festival from its

inception.

The organizers, volunteers and patrons should take great pride in what they

have accomplished. Not only has the Festival become a much anticipated

event on the calendar, it has contributed greatly to the broader community,

inspiring young performers and attracting visitors from far and wide.

To Artistic Director James Campbell and all those who work to make the

Festival such a resounding success, I say ‘Bravo,’ and offer best wishes for

what I’m sure will be another magnificent season.

Warm regards,

Tony Clement

Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka

Dear Friends;

It is my great delight to welcome everyone to the start of another amazing

summer season with Festival of the Sound. In its 32nd year running, this

season’s experience promises to give us a taste of past favourites and future

talents. I invite you to enjoy the wide range of music that the Festival continues

to feature.

The Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts continues in showcas-

ing many acclaimed musical talents as well as newcomers through the Festival

of the Sound. This intimate atmosphere and acoustically pleasing venue always

provides audiences with exceptional experiences in music and showcases the

brilliance of Canadian music. I am proud that the Festival is continuing its

promotion of cultural music as well as promoting young artists.

Join us and enjoy the wonders of music, as well as spark memories of past

musical talents; this year promises to be a remarkable journey through music.

I would also like to extend my continuing admiration and thanks to all the

volunteers, musicians, and directors that make the Festival all that is it.

I encourage you to take advantage of all the wonderful concerts featured

throughout the summer and I look forward to sharing this unique event with

you this summer and in the future.

Sincerely,

Norm Miller, MPP

Parry Sound - Muskoka

Festival of the Sound,

It is my great pleasure to welcome musicians and patrons to Parry Sound’s

thirty-second annual summer season of the Festival of the Sound.

The very nature and setting of this unique festival transforms Parry Sound, for a

few weeks each year, to a place filled with the wonderful and distinct sounds of

music that only this festival offers. An event of this calibre is a rare and unique

treasure and the Festival significantly contributes to ensuring that Parry Sound

continues to shine as the Jewel of the 30,000 Islands.

The Town is pleased to show its support for the Festival both financially, and

through the operation of the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts

which is the main performance venue.

Congratulations to everyone involved with the production of the Festival

including the Festival Board, the staff, the many volunteers and all our guest

musicians on the mounting of what I’m sure will be another successful

showcase of beautiful music.

Best wishes to all for an outstanding and delightful Festival experience.

Sincerely,

Jamie McGarvey

Mayor, Town of Parry Sound


President’s MessageDirector’s Message

Welcome back! If this is your first time at our Festival, a big welcome to you. I

feel excited as I write this because ideas that have been bouncing around in

my head for the last year are about to become a reality in the shape of this

year’s Festival. In many ways, this year’s Festival is really a series of seven mini-

festivals.

Mini-festival 1 “Opening Weekend” (July 15-17) is a celebration of the piano,

the Cecilia and Afiara String Quartets (first and second prize winners of the

Banff String Quartet Competition), and a distinguished chamber orchestra from

Europe.

Mini-festival 2 “The Virtuoso” (July 18-21) focuses on the virtuosity of Franz

Liszt and Niccolo Paganini with a return visit of the Mendelssohn Choir.

Mini-festival 3 “Italian Serenade” (July 22-24) celebrates the music and food

of Italy.

Mini-festival 4 “Colours” (July 26-29) is 12 concerts in 4 days by 40 visiting

artists offering a wide variety of music ranging from Bach to Gershwin, Mozart

to Mahler, and Schubert to Puccini.

Mini-festival 5 ”Jazz Tributes” (July 30-August 2) is one of the most exciting

jazz weekends we have had with tributes to great figures of the past including

a special concert in memory of Oscar Peterson.

Mini-festival 6 “The Beethoven Experience” (August 2-5) features his com-

plete String Quartet Cycle as well as the music of Franz Schubert, a composer

who idolized Beethoven.

Mini-festival 7 ”Friends” (August 6 and 7) presents two great “resident”

ensembles: the Elmer Iseler Singers and the Hannaford Street Silver Band.

The 58 individual musicians and 22 ensembles (about 230 people total) who

will appear this summer are all looking forward to sharing their love of music

with you in a building that was built out of the love of music.

James Campbell

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Festival of the Sound I would like to

welcome you, our friends, back to Parry Sound to be a part of the festival’s

thirty second season on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay.

Our long time Artistic Director, James Campbell, has again created an exciting

lineup of wonderful events. It is through Jim’s vision for the festival, his exten-

sive knowledge of the classical chamber music repertoire and the

personal relationships he has with world class musicians that we are able to

enjoy such a musical feast every summer.

In addition, the Festival of the Sound could not happen without the efforts of

countless volunteers, together with our wonderful staff, lead by Margaret Boyd.

These individuals tirelessly work all year to present the best three weeks of

classical music that Canada has to offer. A warm thank you must also go to all

the Benefactors, Patrons, Donors, Friends, and Concert Sponsors. Without

your support we would not be able to produce such a fine festival.

Lastly, you, the members of our audience have joined us here in Parry Sound

to experience great music in a superb setting. Thank you for choosing to

support and enjoy live classical music with us!

andrea hansen, violin-director; strings across the sky

Since 1988, Strings Across the Sky has taught fiddling in Northern Canada to

Aboriginal, Métis and Inuit youth. After only a few days of lessons, students

perform in public gaining a new sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.

Since many of today’s players are beginners performing before an audience

for the first time, what happens on stage is pure magic. The Festival of the

Sound is proud to work with Strings Across the Sky by offering the children the

opportunity to perform in our wonderful concert hall.

Whether you’re listening in a concert hall or on your iPod, concert music has the power to move you. The right knowledge can deepen the ability of this music to edify, enlighten, and stir the soul. This is a comprehensive, accessible guide to how music has mirrored Western history, that will transform the experience for novice and long-time listeners alike.

Why Mahler? Why does his music affect us in the way it does? Norman Lebrecht, one of the world’s most widely read cultural commentators, has been wrestling obsessively with Mahler for half his life. Lebrecht constructs a compelling new portrait of Mahler as a man who lived determinedly outside his own times. Mahler was a maker of our modern world.

Family Concert


In a one hour program the engaging members of the New Zealand String

Quartet introduce a range of musical ideas to a family audience, using audi-

ence participation, theatre and lively explanations. These programs are suited

to an audience with children in the 4-10 year old age group and are market-

ed to parents and grandparents. The program includes “Goldilocks and the

Three Bears”, a dramatised version of the Goldilocks story, presented in cos-

tume, which is used to introduce each instrument of the string quartet one by

one. The three bears are musicians and it turns out that Goldilocks plays the

violin too. The piece ends with the three bears forming a string quartet with

Goldilocks and performing part of the ‘Pachelbear’ Canon.

Using audience participation, the four musicians introduce other illustrated

program segments including “Talking instruments”, “Where’s the melody?” and

“Recognising moods and emotions in music”. Musical examples range from

Gershwin and Scott Joplin to Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Bartók.

In 1999, young virtuosos from different cultures gathered around a musical score for their fondness for chamber music.
