Canada’s premier summer classical music event at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay. 30 th Director’s Message Dear Friends 25 James Campbell th True to his nature, James Campbell did not mention in his greetings that we are also celebrating his 25th season as Artistic Director. He is going to celebrate by doing what he does best, playing the clarinet. Look through the programmes for Mozart’s Clarinet Trio, Clarinet Quintet and Gran Partita for 13 Winds, Mendelssohn’s Concert Piece and John William’s Air & Simple Gifts (from the Barack Obama inauguration). Hear Jim with the Elora Festival Singers in Missa Pax, a new work for clarinet and choir by Timothy Corlis. He’ll play in the style of Benny Goodman, both classical and jazz. You are invited to give Jim a congratulatory gift through the Note-by-Note Campaign (page 20). 2 July 17 – August 9, 2009 Anniversary Festival of the Sound Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts Season Parry Sound, Ontario Come to the Festival of the Sound for a marvellous birthday party, a three week celebration of our 30th season, the anniversaries of some of history’s greatest composers – Handel, Haydn and Mendelssohn – and the centenary of one rather infludential clarinet player, Benny Goodman. We have invited as many of our old friends as we could to the party. Some first performed here as young artists and are now regulars on the world stage. New friends this year include emerging stars such as the Stockey Young Artist Frederieke Saeijs and the Spanish pianist Leo Erice and internationally renowned ensembles like the Leipzig String Quartet and the Canadian Brass. As you look through the brochure you will notice many of your favourite works: Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Handel’s Messiah, the Mendelssohn and Schubert Octets. Interestingly enough, when I asked the musicians which works they would most enjoy performing, many chose the same ones you love to hear. A good way to celebrate, a good way to party. Join us on the shores of Georgian Bay for great concerts in the spectacular Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts.

Jackson Andrew Till was almost predestined to become a landscape painter. His family cottage in Go Home Bay is set among the actual rocks and pines featured in so many Group of Seven classics. Across the water stands the renowned McCallum cottage in which Tom Thompson, Arthur Lismer and J.E.H. MacDonald painted the mural panels now on display at the National Gallery. As a student at Upper Canada College, his gifts caught the eye of A.Y. Jackson who became a friend and frequent summer painting and sketching partner. After graduating from Trinity College and Ontario College of Art, he travelled widely in Europe and Mexico and was part of the turbulent New York art scene of the sixties, but never lost touch with his artistic or personal roots in Canada. The Festival of the Sound chose the image “Daybreak” to honour Parry Sound artist Andrew Till on the 10th anniversary of his death. 3 James Sommerville, Elmer Iseler Singers, Peter Appleyard, Orford Six Pianos, Mary Lou Fallis Festival Musicians FESTIVAL MUSICIANS Lydia Adams, conductor Yariv Aloni, viola Peter Appleyard, vibes Andy Ballantyne, baritone sax Julie Baumgartel, violin David Bourque, clarinet & basset horn David Braid, piano Russell Braun, baritone Graham Campbell, guitar James Campbell, clarinet Terry Clarke, drums Rian de Waal, piano Gene DiNovi, piano Verne Dorge, alto sax Mark DuBois, tenor Noel Edison, conductor Leopoldo Erice, piano Leslie Fagan, soprano Mary Lou Fallis, soprano Guy Few, trumpet & piano Mark Fewer, violin Janina Fialkowska, piano Allan Gilliland, composer-in-residence Allene Hackleman, horn Moshe Hammer, violin Keith Horner, lecturer Brian James, oboe Marc Johnson, cello Beverley Johnston, percussion André Laplante, piano Wai Lau, clarinet Stéphane Lemelin, piano Jan Lisiecki, piano Andrea Ludwig, mezzo-soprano James Mason, oboe Carolyn Maule, piano Michael McBride, tenor Carol McCartney, vocalist James McKay, bassoon Curtis Metcalf, conductor Paul Mulligan, basset horn 4 30th Anniversary Season Highlights 30th Anniversary Season Highlights ballet as if they were set designs in the original Ballets Russes tradition.

In 2005 she won the First Grand Prix at the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud competition in Paris. Since then she has performed throughout the world with prestigious orchestras under conductors including Matthias Bamert, Jonathan Darlington and Jaap van Zweden. Frederieke Saeijs is currently Artist in Residence in the Dr. Anton Philipszaal and Nieuwe Kerk in her home town The Hague. She plays a violin by Petrus Guarneri (1725, Venice), ‘Ex- Reine Elisabeth’, kindly lent to her by the Dutch National Music Instrument Foundation. Charles Stockey Charles and Lois Stockey 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 chooses the RBC Stockey Young Artists each year to honour this wish. RBC Stockey Young Artists are generously supported by: Jan Lisiecki Jan Lisiecki was born in Calgary in 1995 and has been studying piano since the age of five with Colleen Athparia and Glen Montgomery at the Mount Royal College Conservatory. At 14, he is already making a name for himself on Canadian and international stages. He had his orchestral debut with the Calgary Civic Symphony at 9, as the youngest winner of the Calgary Concerto Competition and has since performed more than 30 times with orchestras in Canada and abroad. He has played at Carnegie Hall and has shared the stage with Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zukerman, James Ehnes, and Emanuel Ax. Last summer, he performed the Chopin F minor Concerto with Sinfonia Varsovia and will return to Warsaw in August to perform the E minor Concerto. Jan performs frequently for various charity organizations and was appointed a National Youth Representative by UNICEF Canada. www.festivalofthesound.ca 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 Artists program to support exceptional young musicians in their transition to professional careers. 7 30 th Anniversary Season Canadian Brass, Gryphon Trio, Hannaford Street Silver Band, New Zealand String Quartet Gala Opening Weekend Fanfares • RBC Stockey Young Artists Celebrate Charles Friday, July 17, 2009 GALA OPENING CONCERT Saturday, July 18, 2009 7:30 PM 30 MINUTES FOR 30 YEARS Sunday, July 19, 2009 6:30 PM GOLD MEDAL BRASS Hannaford Street Silver Band, Curtis Metcalf, resident conductor with a special guest appearance by the Canadian Brass Keith Horner interviews members of the Canadian Brass about its proud history since 1970.

Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts Join us for a very special gala dinner on Monday, July 20 at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts. Food has always played a very important role in the Festival of the Sound’s celebrations, both for raising funds and for building relationships. Celebrate the 30th anniversary season and James Campbell’s 25th anniversary as Artistic Director with an evening of music, laughter, wine, good friends, good conversation and fine food. Keith Horner hosts the evening and Festival musicians offer an intimate concert as their anniversary gift. Come and raise a glass or two to the Festival’s first 30 seasons and help us to raise funds for many more years of wonderful music to come. Your support and encouragement, shown by your presence with us, are particularly welcome in these challenging economic times. A tax receipt for $75 will be issued for each ticket sold. Wine with dinner is included in the price of the ticket. The dress code is “Parry Sound Elegance,” ranging all the way from black tie to smart casual. Seating is reserved at tables for eight, so order early to avoid disappointment. 18 1.866.364.0061 705.746.2410 www.festivalofthesound.ca 19 ������������������������������������ ���������������������������������������� ���������������� ��������������������� ������������������������������������ �������������������������� ����������������������� Note-by-Note Membership Let The Music Play On The Festival of the Sound delivers Canada’s finest summer experiences – 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 ticket prices, the Festival Board raises two dollars for every dollar generated at the Box Office. Since we keep administrative costs as low as possible, your membership donation has a direct impact on artistic programming and free educational opportunities for children and adults. A recent survey of 226 Canadian performing arts organizations showed that 8% of the total revenue was raised through individual donations. At the Festival of the Sound, our individual donors contributed 18% of our revenue in 2007. 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 $25 or more, you will 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 outlining advance information about the upcoming season, early mailing of the season brochure, and listing in the souvenir programme. The Festival Board offers contributors of $250 or more tickets to their concert of choice (excluding Opening Night, cruises and special events). Your investment in the future of the Festival of the Sound is very much appreciated. In order that we may present exceptional concerts for at least 30 more seasons, we are conducting the “Note-by-Note” fundraising campaign. James Campbell has planned for many years to bring together enough of his colleagues to perform the Mozart Serenade for 13 Winds, Gran Partita. But each year, when it came time to trim the budget, he decided that we really couldn’t afford the extra players. This year, when the topic came up again, Executive Director Margaret Boyd would not let him cut it out and promised that we would find a way to do it. And that’s where you come in! In addition to asking you to renew your support of the Festival with a donation to our annual campaign, we are inviting you to buy a symbolic musical note for $25.00 or a full bar of the Gran Partita for $100. Now you may ask if there is a special price for bars where the oboes and clarinets rest for a line or two. The answer is no, since we still have to pay them to count! More seriously, the performance of the Gran Partita on August 6 will be one not to be missed. This is the work that led Mozart’s rival Salieri to muse in the movie Amadeus, “It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.” The campaign will continue through the summer season with the names of all contributors to the Note-by-Note campaign included in a memento of the evening that will be given to James Campbell with our thanks. 20 Frederieke Saeÿs, Stockey Young Artist.

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 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. 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 Office. Contributions of any size are welcome and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt. 22 “ F l y & D i ne” Scenic Flights and Adventures Parry Sound Town Dock georgianbayairways.com ~ 800-786-1704 ���������������������� � ���� ��������� ����������� ������������������������������������������� ���������������� �������������� ������������� �������������� ����������������� �������������� ���������������� �������������� ��������� �������������� ������������������� �������������� ������������� �������������� ��������������� �������������� ������������������� �������������� ��������� �������������� ����������������� �������������� ���������������� �������������� �������������� �������������� �������������������� 1.866.364.0061 705.746.2410 The Massasauga Provincial Park stretches along the coast of Georgian Bay from Parry Sound to the Moon River. It includes spectacular windswept islands as well as inland forests and lakes and is a sanctuary for many protected species. Once a year a group of Ontario artists tours the park in visual study. The composition of the group changes annually, as do their impressions of the park. The artwork in this exhibition represents the participating artists’ unique perspective of this exceptional Canadian landscape. All are invited to the show opening on Saturday, July 18 at 4:00 P.M. The show continues through to August 9.

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 them 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 or the schools.
