In the face of strife - experienced internally, interpersonally, or internationally - where do we turn? This summer’s programs will provide reflections on the human capacity to heal - through cathartic expression, love, and community.

This season’s performers, known for their positions in celebrated string quartets (Verona, Cavani, Blair, Tokai) and as principal players of major orchestras (Toronto Symphony, Canadian Opera Company Orchestra, National Ballet Orchestra, Orchestre de l’Agora), return to the Port Milford stage for another summer of collaboration and connection in Prince Edward County.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
