Brott Music Festival

Read Profile

Brott Music Festival is Ontario's only and Canada's largest orchestral music festival. Founded by late Boris Brott in 1988, it enters its 37th season under the baton of Tania Miller. "Unique in its sheer variety" is how BMF's mix of classical, opera, rock, pop and Broadway has been described. 2024 highlights include a Beethoven Immersive, Rossini's Barber of Seville, Ian Parker playing Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, Firebird Suite, Dvorak 8 and Mahler 5, dedicated to Brott's memory. There are free concerts on Hamilton's Waterfront, one night only staged performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita, film music of James Bond, and an East Coast Kitchen party with Celtic band. The BMF features the National Academy Orchestra of Canada and BrottOpera Emerging Artists. Both are nationally recognized training programs.
