DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 31st Festival of the Sound!

I thought when beginning this message that I would once again list many of the highlights of the 2010 season. But I soon came to realize that for me the entire Festival experience is the highlight. So rather than singling out a particular event, I want to invite you to enjoy as much of that experience as you can.

Listen to much loved chamber music performed with the excitement and intensity that only a live concert can bring. Chat with friends on the deck of the Stockey Centre while enjoying the magical sunsets that regularly appear over Georgian Bay. Challenge your mind with new music and lectures, discover new talent, or enjoy the friendly hospitality of our Festival family.

This is our 8th season in one of the world's most wonderful chamber music venues. For those of you reading this who have not yet experienced the incredible acoustics and intimate warmth of the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts, perhaps now is the time. Join us for great concerts in a spectacular Georgian Bay setting.

James Campbell, Artistic Director
