Music Scores

Festival of the Sound’s Music Scores 2024 presents “Carnival of the Animals” with Trio Carnaval consisting of Chloe Weston, Dakota Scott-Digout, and Trevor Copp

Trio Carnaval presents a zoological fantasy of mime, movement and music through the lens of French composers Camille Saint-Saens and Darius Milhaud. Trio Carnaval is composed of The Chloe Weston & Dakota Scott-Digout Piano Duo, and award winning mime Trevor Copp.

Trio Carnaval perform for Grade 4-6 students from local schools from May 27th through to the 31st. Touring through 11 schools in just five days, these intrepid young performers are sure to captivate and educate students and staff alike.

Music Scores is the Festival of the Sound’s unique initiative to bring professional musicians to Parry Sound twice each year for visits to all of the elementary schools in the region. Every spring and fall, Festival musicians visit students in grade 4 to 6 at our local schools to get to know the students in an informal atmosphere, share about their instrument(s) and passion for music, and participate in an interactive, mutual learning experience. At the end of the week, approximately 700 students then travel to the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts to listen to the musicians, now their friends, in a formal concert setting.

The Festival of the Sound is dedicated to providing innovative, creative, thematic programming. This includes our “off-season” music educational projects.

The love of music often begins in childhood and the Festival is committed to bringing world-class, professional classical musicians into our local schools. During the school year, we organize an exciting and innovative music education outreach program called Music Scores. Through this program, the students are provided opportunities to meet professional musicians, learn together with them, and attend professional concerts at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts.
