We are 35 and counting. I find it amazing that when the Festival began at that meeting in Anton Kuerti’s cottage 35 years ago many of the artists performing in this summer’s festival were not even born, and many had not even discovered their instruments, let alone started their careers.
On milestone years such as this there is a tendency to look back. Whilst this summer we have many long time friends coming to share Parry Sound’s accomplishment, we are looking to the future. The talent and international experience the Festival brings to Parry Sound each summer is truly staggering and we are committed to share this wealth with more of the community.
The Stockey Master Classes give young artists direct contact with great international artists such as Michel Strauss, Martin Roscoe and Janina Fialkowska. Strings Across the Sky, Jonathan’s Storm and Music Scores, our educational programme in the local schools throughout the year, reach into the young hearts of the future.
And watch out for “Quartets in Every Corner”, a series of pop-up concerts which will surprise you in venues around Parry Sound.
It’s our birthday and we intend to party for 24 days with over 75 concerts, lectures, cruises, dinners, and galas, ending on August 10 with the biggest project the Festival has ever attempted – Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony!
Come join the fun!

Festival of Films
The Festival of the Sound is pleased to announce the launch of a new film series to complement its 35-year tradition of classical music programming. These lively film screenings will match movie classics with the weekly themes of our musical programs. We look forward to featuring the work of both Canadian filmmakers and masters of world cinema. We hope you enjoy this exciting dialogue between the magic of music and the delights of the silver screen. This Festival has been programmed by William DiNovi.
A Weekend in the Country — July 25th to 27th
This Explorer Package is a two-day extravaganza of full-immersion programming. Festival of the Sound comes to you as you make the drive to Parry Sound with a CD that “curates” your travel, including stories, music, and anecdotes about the works you will be enjoying throughout the weekend. You’ll get a new perspective of classical masterworks as well as some exciting new music in the Afiara Quartet’s Playlist: Shuffle Program. Re-imagine live music and the moving picture with “Night at the Movies” and Stephen Prutsman’s score to a Buster Keaton classic “Sherlock Junior”, and have fun exploring the beauty of the Georgian Bay with the international cast of artists this weekend. Your package price of $600/couple includes two nights hotel and breakfast at the Log Cabin Inn, Friday night drinks on the deck, as well as lunch and dinner on Saturday. Please see page 11 for more details. This weekend has been programmed by Adrian Fung.
Quartets in Every Corner

This year, explore some of the best corners of Parry Sound with our favourite quartets! Keep your eyes peeled around town and the Festival website for news blasts on these fun, short pop-up concerts. Family friendly and casual, these concerts are pay-as-you-wish.

Experience the towering beauty of the wilderness that surrounds you, while being serenaded by incredibly talented Festival musicians.

Jonathan’s Storm
Kids and parents alike are invited to join us on this hero’s journey being presented outside in the round at Mission Hill Park. This free event will feature two workshops full of crafts and songs — each leading up to a performance of “Jonathan’s Storm” an opera for kids about overcoming adversity. It’s a full afternoon of fun, and promises to be a don’t miss event!
Behind the Music, Open Ears and Conversations with Keith
Want to learn more about your favourite pieces, composers or Festival artists? Go Behind the Music with the Festival of the Sound. This season Keith Horner will be talking with some remarkable Canadian composers and musicians, including An-Lun Huang and the Juno-nominated Allan Gordon Bell. Jeffrey Stokes will help you to further explore the music of Schubert and Beethoven. If you’ve never been to one of our popular free lecture events, come and see what all the fuss is about.
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony
“He proposes to compose Schiller’s Freude, strophe by strophe. I expect something perfect, since he is wholly devoted to the great and sublime” — Fischenich
Thus praised years before it was even written Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and in particular its final choral movement based upon the Schiller poem has long been considered one of the most sublime pieces ever composed. We’re closing our 35th season with this masterwork celebrating love, fellowship and joy.

GeorGe a. Walker The Mysterious Death of Tom Thompson – A Narrative in Pictures“the narrative is a visual elegy reflecting on the loss of a gifted artist and a man of his time fluent in the visual language of modernism, who also found solace and an artistic muse in the wilds of the canadian bush. George Walker’s engravings chart thompson’s life, relationships and journeys as he made a living as a commercial artist in early twentieth-century toronto, and a painter who found creative inspiration in the hinterland of lakes and forests.” — tom Smart

“He proposes to compose Schiller’s Freude, strophe by strophe. I expect something perfect, since he is wholly devoted to the great and sublime” — Fischenich
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and in particular it’s final choral movement based upon the Schiller poem has long been considered one of the most sublime pieces ever written. Jamie Sommerville leads an all-star orchestra of some of your favourite Festival musicians and the Elmer Iseler Singers. Be swept away by Beethoven’s remarkable celebration of fellowship and joy and the human spirit. We couldn’t imagine a better way to close our 35th season than to share our joy with all of you.

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,
Festival Winds, a jazz ensemble,
the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra
and 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 the children 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 and the
schools. The Festival of the Sound thanks
the following for the support that makes
Music Scores possible:
Youth Music education FundFrances M. Brown, lead donor
Near North district school Board
rotary Club of Parry sound
P l AY A s t A r r i N g r o l e
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 $35 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.

Form a Lasting Legacy in the Land that you Love
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 beginnings 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 20,000 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.

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 “silver badge” or call the Festival Office. Contributions of any size are welcome and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
Youth Music Education Fund
This fund was established in the spring of 2010 with a generous donation from long-time Festival member Frances M.
P l AY A s t A r r i N g r o l e
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.
