A Yamaha Concert Grand Piano
will be the premier instrument for a
cavalcade of Jazz, Rag-time, Classical
and Blues performers throughout the
twelve days of the Festival.

Performances on this exquisite
marvel of Yamaha craftsmanship and
grand piano evolution will range
from solo recitals to jazz and blues
ensembles in shows and concerts.

 

In recognition of the dedication to the
arts of the many fine instrumentalists
and vocalists in our region performing
in other musical idioms, the Festival
will be presenting a series of recitals
and showcases featuring a selection
of excellent teachers and students
from throughout Simcoe County.

 



 

 


"This venue has one of the best pianos I've ever played in the Toronto area. So if you want to hear some great music in a totally acoustic (un-amplified) environment with a great piano and great musicians, this is a rare opportunity, and one that should be taken advantage of."
Mark Eisenman - Canadian Jazz Pianist
