This SummerDirector’s Message

On The Cover

in 1946, Bert Weir came to

the Parry sound area where

he helped build the McKellar

lodge, worked in the lumber

camps, became a Boy scout

leader and coached the

McKellar Wild Cats hockey

team. later he attended the

ontario College of art in

toronto, established the

McKellar lodge summer

studio and taught high school

in Windsor. in 1973 he and

his wife elena Zebrauskaite

Weir established loon studios

in Parry sound. in 2002, Bert

and his second wife Joy allan

moved loon studios to

McKellar. Bert Weir set out

to learn everything he could

about the northern ontario

wilderness in a quest to

understand the force that drew

him so powerfully to that place.

he would canoe, walk, sail,

camp and paint, contemplating,

searching and hoping to

discover why the wilderness

affected him so profoundly.

Bert Weir describes his life as

the process of working on one

unending painting.

Isn’t it nice to know that in this increasingly busy, noisy world,

we can go to a place where everything starts in silence and where time

waits while great minds, past and present, speak to us through music?

The Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts becomes our

aural sanctuary as the wisdom of the great composers speaks to us

through your friends, the performers, who themselves are in awe of the

greatness they are encountering in the music.

Welcome to the 32nd edition of the Festival of the Sound.

Our programmes this summer will range from the incomparable depth

of the complete Beethoven String Quartet cycle, to the dazzling

virtuosity of Liszt and Paganini, the brilliance of big band jazz and

the grand sounds of choral masterworks, all in the intimate, acoustically

and visually perfect Stockey Centre.

I invite you, as usual, to browse through our offerings and I look forward

to welcoming you to the 2011 Festival of the Sound.

Banff Winners — July 17 to 22In September of 2010, it was a proud moment for the entire Canadian

musical community when the two Canadian entries, the Cecilia and

Afiara Quartets, were named first and second prize winners respectively

at the Banff International String Quartet Competition. We were quickly

on the phone to invite both quartets to participate in the 2011 season

with the repertoire of course including the Mendelssohn Octet for strings.

Liszt at 200 — July 17 to 21In 2010, the Festival of the Sound marked the 200th birthdays of Frédéric

Chopin and Robert Schumann. This year marks the same anniversary

for Franz Liszt. Hear his own works plus music that influenced him,

music that he loved to play and music influenced by him. André Laplante

performs from Liszt’s most monumental work, Book 2 of Années des

pèlerinage, and Adam György, a rapidly rising Liszt specialist, is heard

in recital.

Italian Weekend — July 22 to 24From Friday through Sunday, we celebrate the wide diversity of music

by Italian composers and of others inspired by Italy. Friday’s concerts will

include Paganini’s 24 Caprices, the premiere of Gene DiNovi’s Tarantella

and of course Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. A Taste of Italy on Saturday

evening combines the great food and wines of Italy with operatic arias.

See page 26 for details. On Sunday afternoon, the Festival Baroque

celebrates the rich musical heritage of the 17th and 18th centuries when

Italian composers and the violin-makers of Cremona inspired each other

to greatness. Then Quartetto Gelato brings the weekend to a dazzling

climax with Peter De Sotto’s signature O Sole Mio.

Music from Giverny — July 26 to 29Michel Strauss is Artistic Director of the Giverny International Chamber

Music Festival in the village whose gardens inspired the art of Claude

Monet. He is coming to the Festival of the Sound with an ensemble

of musicians who perform with him there. We also introduce the

Canadian-born soprano Sharon Coste-Poras, who now has a busy

career in the concert halls and opera houses of Europe. The Noon

Concert on July 28, entitled Monet’s Music, features music inspired

by the art and the gardens of Giverny.

The Beethoven Experience — August 2 to 5The Lafayette, New Zealand and Penderecki String Quartets perform

all 16 Beethoven String Quartets plus the Grosse Fugue. Jeffrey Stokes

offers an intense exploration of the life, times and music of Beethoven.

In addition to the lectures, at several concerts he will introduce some

of Beethoven’s musical patrons and friends in Vienna, whose stories

are entwined with the quartets. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear the

richest body of chamber works by a single composer.

Mozart Requiem and Eleanor Daley Requiem — August 6In a concert full of contrasts, hear the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Festival

Chamber Orchestra and a roster of outstanding soloists, all under

the direction of Lydia Adams. Eleanor Daley, born in Parry Sound, is

a Canadian composer whose Requiem was named Outstanding New

Choral Composition by the Association of Canadian Choral Conductors

in 1994. Mozart’s last work, the powerful and moving Requiem, was

left incomplete at the time of his death in Vienna in 1791 and has been

surrounded by mystique ever since.

Music from the Inside OutThe Festival’s series of free lectures, interviews and open rehearsals

gives you opportunities to better appreciate the music being heard.

In Conversations with Keith, you are invited to get to know the

performers in a series of personal interviews. Throughout the Beethoven

Experience, Jeffrey Stokes explores the world in which Beethoven

composed his marvellous string quartets.

Cecilia String QuartetFirst prize-winners of the 2010 Banff International String Quartet

Competition, Canada’s Cecilia String Quartet is currently the Graduate

Resident String Quartet at The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould

School. Prior to this appointment, the CSQ was Quartet-in-Residence at

the Schulich School of Music, McGill University, where they studied with

André Roy. Since its inception in 2004, the quartet has held residencies

at Laurier University, The Glenn Gould School, and the University of

Toronto, where the quartet was formed. The Cecilia String Quartet takes

its name from St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music.

Alexander SeredenkoPianist Alexander Seredenko is emerging as a leading voice in the

next generation of Canadian young artists. His electrifying yet deeply

expressive performances have, in recent years, been thrilling audiences

in Canada, Europe, and Asia. He had the honour of performing for Prime

Minister Stephen Harper and world leaders at the G-20 Conference

in Toronto. He recently won the Toronto Symphony National Piano

Competition and performed the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with

Maestro Peter Oundjian and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy

Thompson Hall in December of 2010. Alexander Seredenko is currently

pursuing his studies at The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School

under the tutelage of Dean James Anagnoson.

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 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.

Saturday, July 23, 2011

This year, the Festival of the Sound combines

two of our most popular events, our Gala Fundraising Dinner and

our Opera Gala. Join us for this special evening, Saturday, July 23 at

6:00 pm in the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts.

The evening begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, served in the

atrium and enjoyed on the waterside deck if the weather is fine.

Dinner is then served in the Festival Performance Hall with wine and

music selected to enhance every course. As you experience the flavours

of Italy, your senses will carry you through an evening of glorious arias

by Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Offenbach and Mozart, performed by Leslie

Fagan, Jean Stilwell, Mark DuBois and Guy Few.

By your attendance at A Taste of Italy, you are supporting the

Festival of the Sound in a very important way. A tax receipt for $75

will be issued for each ticket sold. Wine with dinner is included in

the price of the ticket. The dress code is “Parry Sound Elegance,”

ranging all the way from black tie to smart casual. Seating is reserved

at tables for eight. (It is not necessary to purchase the whole table.)

That’s why RBC® supports emerging artists, bridging the gap between their academic training and their professional careers. Emerging artists are a work in progress and we can’t wait to see how they turn out.

The RBC Stockey Young Artist project provides an emerging youth performer the opportunity to be the featured guest artist at a public concert. This is one of over 30 RBC Emerging Artist partnerships from across Canada.

The Festival of the Sound offers intimate performances by outstanding chamber musicians in the spectacular Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts on the shores of Georgian Bay. To present world calibre concerts at affordable prices, the Festival Board raises two dollars for every dollar generated at the Box Office. A recent survey of Canadian performing arts organizations with similar budgets showed that 4.7% of the total revenue was raised by individual donations. Our individual donors contributed 18% of our revenue. Thanks to the support of this wonderful membership base, we are now one of Canada’s most successful musical organizations.

All contributions are gratefully received and are eligible for a tax credit receipt. With a donation of $25 or more, you become a member of the Festival of the Sound and receive a pre-Christmas mailing with special offers on passes and merchandise, our newsletter Soundings, early mailing of the season brochure, and listing in the souvenir programme. The Festival Board offers contributors of $250 or more tickets to their concert of choice (excluding Opening Night, cruises and special events).

Donations may be sent by mail to PO Box 750, Parry Sound, ON P2A 2Z1 or taken by telephone when you call with your ticket order. New in 2011 is the opportunity to donate online in a secure manner.

Your investment in the success of the Festival of the Sound is very much appreciated.

Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund

Charles and Lois Stockey were supporters of and workers for the Festival of the Sound in its formative years before they moved to Victoria, BC. In 2002, what began with a casual question about what was happening now in Parry Sound led to a donation of $1.7 million to name the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts. Now the Festival has a home, an intimate performance hall that has come to be ranked as one of the finest in the world for chamber music. During the 25th Anniversary Season in 2004, the Festival Board established the Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund to honour our benefactors. To ensure the long-term health of the organization, all memorial donations and other gifts directed to this fund are invested, with the interest used to support annual operations.

Charles Stockey died in September of 2004 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Lois lives in Victoria and maintains a keen interest in news from Parry Sound.

Information about the Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund is available at all Festival of the Sound concerts. Speak to one of the Directors wearing a “gold badge” or call the Festival Office. Contributions of any size are welcome and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

In the Festival’s innovative education program Music Scores, children in Grades 4 to 6 in thirteen area schools enjoy six concert experiences, some of which have included the True North Brass, a woodwind quintet, a jazz ensemble, the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra and, most recently, the National Ballet of Canada’s YOU dance program. Prior to each of these concerts, the musicians visit every school, getting to know the students in an informal setting, demonstrating their instruments and preparing them for the concert. Then all 700 children come to the Stockey Centre by bus or on foot to listen to the musicians, now their friends, in a formal concert setting. No opening night audience can match the excitement that precedes each of these concerts.

Music Scores is offered without charge to the children, their families or the schools. The Festival of the Sound thanks the following for the support that makes Music Scores possible:

Near North District School Board

Parry Sound Community Band

Rotary Club of Parry Sound

Music Scores

Youth Music Education FundThis fund was established in the spring of 2010 with a generous donation from long-time Festival member Frances M. Brown. She has established this fund to help ensure the future of Music Scores and other educational initiatives for youth. Additional donations to the Youth Music Education Fund are welcome at any time and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

GIFTOF A LIFETIME

Our hospital owes its very beginning to a legacy gift. In 1897, Dr. John R. Stone financed the opening and management of the Parry Sound General Hospital. From humble begin-nings serving 70 patients many suffering from typhoid, we’ve grown to a 70-bed acute care hospital operating a 24-hour Emergency that annually serves approximately 25,000 patients in Emergency alone. Dr. Stone’s lasting legacy has made our Parry Sound world safer.

A legacy donation as part of your will offers our generation the chance to give back and contribute to the next 100 years.

Legacy donations are endowed in our Forever Fund.
