CHARLES W. STOCKEY CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PARRY SOUND, ONTARIO

28TH ANNUAL SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL JAMES CAMPBELL, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

july 20 – augusπ 12, 2007

Dear Friends,How time fl ies! It seems a very short time ago that I had the thrill of standing on the stage at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts for the fi rst time to express the feelings of so many with the words “dreams do come true”. We are now in our fi fth summer season in our new home and loving every minute of it!

Though this is our 28th season, the excitement and challenges make it feel like we are starting fresh every year. We do, however, have the advantage of hind sight and this summer we return to an idea that fi rst appeared here in the early nineties: music from around the world! India, Greece, New Zealand, China, Afghanistan and the Ukraine are but a few of the countries whose music will enrich our summer experience.

Christos Hatzis, our composer in residence, is a musician who embraces many cultures and styles. I encourage you to attend the performances of his wonderful music – you will be astounded by the breadth of his imagination.

Music from the Inside Out, an enlightening series of talks, open rehearsals, interviews, and lectures, will nourish your mind and your soul by deepening your understanding of the classics, and by opening your ears to the sounds of the new.

Please join us in the acoustically perfect Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts on the shores of spectacular Georgian Bay for another incredible season.

Time does seem to fl y, especially when you are having fun!

Opening Weekend — July 20 to 22We remember the thrill of fi rst hearing music in the new perform-

ance hall and have invited back the Elmer Iseler Singers, the

True North Brass and the Hannaford Street Silver Band to jump-

opening weekend in 2003. Our pride in the warm and inviting

atmosphere and the outstanding acoustics of the Charles

W. Stockey Festival Performance Hall grows with every concert

we hear. The chamber music concert on the Sunday afternoon

of the opening weekend pays tribute to Charles Stockey, the

beloved benefactor who helped to make the new hall possible.

play, but also arrange and compose for it.

with music by Mozart and Christos Hatzis, who wrote K. 627 –

an ingenious work that emulates Mozart – for the soundtrack.

The third fi lm is Buster Keaton’s Sherlock Junior. Hear a live

score written by pianist and composer Stephen Prutsman and

performed by the St. Lawrence String Quartet and Prutsman.

Christos HatzisComposer-in-residence Christos Hatzis “is currently enjoying a

growing international reputation as one of the most important

composers writing today.” (CBC Records) A professor of composition

at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, he is the recipient

of such distinctions as the Jean A. Chalmers National Music Award

and the Jules Léger Prize for Chamber Music as well as three Juno

nominations and a 2006 Juno Award in the Classical Composition

of the Year category. Christos Hatzis’s music is inspired by early

Christian spirituality, his own Byzantine music heritage, world

cultures and various non-classical genres such as jazz, pop and

world music. He is an advocate of borderless culture and many of

his most recent works bridge the gap between classical music and

today’s popular music idioms. He was introduced to throat singing

by Keith Horner after Keith heard it for the fi rst time at the 1992

Festival opening concert in honour of Canada 125. Hatzis’s Inuit-

inspired works, particularly the award winning radio documentary

Footprints in New Snow, have promoted Inuit culture around the

world. Hear works by Christos Hatzis throughout the 2007 Festival

of the Sound and meet the composer in informal sessions.

Island Queen Cruises – Sunset on the BayEnjoy Georgian Bay sunsets as the cruise ship Island Queen takes a

wandering three-hour route through the wild and rugged beauty

of the 30,000 Islands, a region recently designated by the United

Nations as a Biosphere Reserve. The cruises have been a highlight

music with the spectacular scenery. Performances are on the lower

deck of the Island Queen and heard throughout the ship.

Dave YoungMary Lou Fallis

RBC Stockey Young Artist Darrett Zusko is quickly establishing himself as one of today’s up-and-coming concert artists, having appeared throughout Canada, the United States, Spain and the UK. He has been described as having “a monumental technique wed to a powerful, incisive and informed musical intelligence” by John Bell Young of Clavier Magazine. A top prizewinner at the Concours Musical International de Montreal (2004) and the New Orleans International Piano Competition (2004), he is also the recipient of numerous other awards.

One Saturday morning in 1994 as we were preparing for a piano recital, in which Jamie Parker would be joined by young piano students, we met a young man and his mother in the lobby of Parry Sound High School. “Is it okay if he plays this morning?” asked the mother. Wanting to include as many children as possible, we agreed to this late addition to the programme. Darrett Zusko’s performance that morning was unforgettable, our fi rst introduction to the 2007 RBC Stockey Young Artist. After working with composer Harry Somers, Darrett gave the premiere of his fi nal work for piano, Nothing Too Serious, in January of 1999. Following the death of Mr. Somers that spring, Darrett performed the work at the Festival of the Sound in his memory. On the same concert, at 14 years of age, he performed the Dohnányi Piano Quintet with the Allegri String Quartet. Now 22 years of age, he is a student of Julian Martin at the Juilliard School in New York.

Charles Stockey loved young artists and often expressed his desire for them to perform in the wonderful acoustics of the concert hall that he helped to build. The Festival of the Sound names the Stockey Young Artist each year to honour this wish.

RBC Stockey Young Artist

The RBC Stockey Young Artist is generously supported by:

RBC Dominion Securities and RBC Foundation support arts and culture through the RBC Emerging Artists Support Project because of their belief in the power of the arts to enrich lives and enhance communities. The Festival of the Sound is developing the RBC Stockey Young Artist program to support exceptional young musicians in their transition to professional careers.

Carmen Unzipped — July 28Jean Stilwell leaves opera behind and takes to the cabaret stage with her usual elegance, wit and aplomb.

Since 1988, Strings Across the Sky has been working in the High Arctic to teach Aboriginal, Métis and Inuit youth the lively art of fi ddling.

Don’t miss one of the year’s best nights out! Get your ticket for the 4th annual Prelude Gala – a very special evening at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts on Saturday, June 2nd, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m.

Sample delectable off erings from cottage country’s fi nest restaurants and inns, and Ontario’s renowned wineries and breweries. Listen to great performances by multi-talented Guy Few (piano, trumpet and vocals) accompanied by Stephanie Mara, Gene DiNovi (piano), and, of course, James Campbell (clarinet).

Bid on a unique collection of live and silent auction items. Keep up with entertaining auctioneer Michael Schurman and take home an original treasure. Artist Alan Stein is donating a painting from the same Northern Lights series as the work on the cover of this brochure.

“Shop” the silent auction for great pre-summer deals and gift ideas. (Need the services of an organizational consultant, chimney sweep or a piano tuner?) Among this year’s array of items are two Geoff rey Armstrong landscapes and four original paintings done by Sara Tyson as chapter dividers for the Festival’s ‘Sounds Good’ cookbook.

Proceeds from Prelude are used to help fund Music Scores for area school children throughout the year, and Music from the Inside Out during the Festival. Programmes worth celebrating!

Get dressed in your best and join us at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for an exciting Prelude to our 28th season. Tickets are $100 per person [tax receipt issued for $40].

Music Scores

The Festival’s statement of Vision and Goals includes “to enhance the community’s sense of pride and achievement in the Festival of the Sound while fostering local interest in the arts.” To thank the Parry Sound community for helping us build the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts, we off er Music Scores to children in Grades 4 to 6 in eleven area schools. Festival musicians visit each school to help the students get to know them in an informal setting, introduce their instru-ments and prepare them for the concert. Then all 700 children come to the Stockey Centre by bus or on foot. Excitement usuallyreaches a fever pitch in the hall before the concert begins but, as soon as the musicians walk on to the stage, the children settle in to listen attentively to the musicians whom they now regard as friends.

Music Scores is off ered without charge to the children, their fami-lies or the schools. The Festival of the Sound thanks the following for the support that made the 2006-07 sessions possible:

• The Near North Board of Education

• The Recording Industries Music Performance Fund of the American Federation of Musicians

Good Literaturefor Children & Adults



In this series of free lectures, discussions, open rehearsals and masterclasses, we invite you to improve your understanding of and appreciation for the music you’ll hear this summer. Interludes between morning and noon concerts are brief chats, about 20 minutes in length. Overtures, preceding evening concerts, focus on a particular topic often related to the evening performance. Jeff rey Stokes’s inspiring explorations of a variety of musical topics and Music Around Us host Keith Horner’s onstage chats with musicians provide a glimpse into the life behind the scenes at the Festival.

MUSIC SCORES FOR ADULTS

Listening to music is a lot like drinking wine – you know what you like but you don’t always know how or why. These workshops provide general knowledge to enhance your concert understanding and enjoyment. Last year’s sessions were attended by an interesting mix of those new to the world of chamber music and seasoned listeners. Come to listen, learn and discuss with others in three free sessions led by Jim Ferris, a retired music educator whose goal is to help you get the most out of the music that you hear at the Festival and beyond.

Charles & Lois Stockey Endowment Fund

In 2002, as construction proceeded on the long awaited performance hall on the Parry Sound waterfront, Charles and Lois Stockey made a donation of $1.7 million to the Festival of the Sound to name the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts. At last the Festival had a home, an intimate performance hall that has come to be ranked as one of the fi nest in the world for chamber music. The Stockeys’ generous gift is an example of philanthropy at its fi nest. At every opportunity, Charles invited others to join him in the pleasure of giving to the Festival of the Sound. During the 25th Anniversary Season in 2004, the Festival Board established the Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund to honour our benefactors. All cash donations 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 but maintains a keen interest in news from Parry Sound and looks forward to her annual visit for the summer concert series.

Charles & Lois Stockey Endowment Fund

This year, we can off er a new way for you to support the Festival of the Sound with more tax savings. In May of 2006, donations of publicly listed securities (shares, mutual funds, bonds and bills listed on a prescribed stock exchange) to charities became exempt from Canadian capital gains taxation. The Festival can issue a charitable donation tax receipt for the full value of the security at the close of the day it is received into our brokerage account. Call the Festival Offi ce at 1-866-364-0061 and ask to speak to Executive Director Margaret Boyd if you would like to discuss this option. Your broker or fi nancial advisor will assist you to set up a transfer from your investment account to the Festival of the Sound’s brokerage account.

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 Offi ce. Contributions of any size are welcome and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
