Each year at this time it is my great pleasure to extend congratulations to the
organizers of the Festival of the Sound.
The Festival, now in its 32nd season, is part of the cultural foundation of the
area and a perennial highlight of the summer. Again this season the
programme offers a diversity of talent, from Beethoven to big band jazz. The
exquisite calibre of performers has become a hallmark of the Festival from its
inception.
The organizers, volunteers and patrons should take great pride in what they
have accomplished. Not only has the Festival become a much anticipated
event on the calendar, it has contributed greatly to the broader community,
inspiring young performers and attracting visitors from far and wide.
To Artistic Director James Campbell and all those who work to make the
Festival such a resounding success, I say ‘Bravo,’ and offer best wishes for
what I’m sure will be another magnificent season.
Warm regards,
Tony Clement

Dear Friends;
It is my great delight to welcome everyone to the start of another amazing
summer season with Festival of the Sound. In its 32nd year running, this
season’s experience promises to give us a taste of past favourites and future
talents. I invite you to enjoy the wide range of music that the Festival continues
to feature.
The Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts continues in showcas-
ing many acclaimed musical talents as well as newcomers through the Festival
of the Sound. This intimate atmosphere and acoustically pleasing venue always
provides audiences with exceptional experiences in music and showcases the
brilliance of Canadian music. I am proud that the Festival is continuing its
promotion of cultural music as well as promoting young artists.
Join us and enjoy the wonders of music, as well as spark memories of past
musical talents; this year promises to be a remarkable journey through music.
I would also like to extend my continuing admiration and thanks to all the
volunteers, musicians, and directors that make the Festival all that is it.
I encourage you to take advantage of all the wonderful concerts featured
throughout the summer and I look forward to sharing this unique event with
you this summer and in the future.
Sincerely,
Norm Miller, MPP
Parry Sound - Muskoka
Festival of the Sound,
It is my great pleasure to welcome musicians and patrons to Parry Sound’s
thirty-second annual summer season of the Festival of the Sound.
The very nature and setting of this unique festival transforms Parry Sound, for a
few weeks each year, to a place filled with the wonderful and distinct sounds of
music that only this festival offers. An event of this calibre is a rare and unique
treasure and the Festival significantly contributes to ensuring that Parry Sound
continues to shine as the Jewel of the 30,000 Islands.
The Town is pleased to show its support for the Festival both financially, and
through the operation of the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts
which is the main performance venue.
Congratulations to everyone involved with the production of the Festival
including the Festival Board, the staff, the many volunteers and all our guest
musicians on the mounting of what I’m sure will be another successful
showcase of beautiful music.
Best wishes to all for an outstanding and delightful Festival experience.
Sincerely,
Jamie McGarvey
Mayor, Town of Parry Sound

President’s MessageDirector’s Message
Welcome back! If this is your first time at our Festival, a big welcome to you. I
feel excited as I write this because ideas that have been bouncing around in
my head for the last year are about to become a reality in the shape of this
year’s Festival. In many ways, this year’s Festival is really a series of seven mini-
festivals.
Mini-festival 1 “Opening Weekend” (July 15-17) is a celebration of the piano,
the Cecilia and Afiara String Quartets (first and second prize winners of the
Banff String Quartet Competition), and a distinguished chamber orchestra from
Europe.
Mini-festival 2 “The Virtuoso” (July 18-21) focuses on the virtuosity of Franz
Liszt and Niccolo Paganini with a return visit of the Mendelssohn Choir.
Mini-festival 3 “Italian Serenade” (July 22-24) celebrates the music and food
of Italy.
Mini-festival 4 “Colours” (July 26-29) is 12 concerts in 4 days by 40 visiting
artists offering a wide variety of music ranging from Bach to Gershwin, Mozart
to Mahler, and Schubert to Puccini.
Mini-festival 5 ”Jazz Tributes” (July 30-August 2) is one of the most exciting
jazz weekends we have had with tributes to great figures of the past including
a special concert in memory of Oscar Peterson.
Mini-festival 6 “The Beethoven Experience” (August 2-5) features his com-
plete String Quartet Cycle as well as the music of Franz Schubert, a composer
who idolized Beethoven.
Mini-festival 7 ”Friends” (August 6 and 7) presents two great “resident”
ensembles: the Elmer Iseler Singers and the Hannaford Street Silver Band.
The 58 individual musicians and 22 ensembles (about 230 people total) who
will appear this summer are all looking forward to sharing their love of music
with you in a building that was built out of the love of music.
James Campbell
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Festival of the Sound I would like to
welcome you, our friends, back to Parry Sound to be a part of the festival’s
thirty second season on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay.
Our long time Artistic Director, James Campbell, has again created an exciting
lineup of wonderful events. It is through Jim’s vision for the festival, his exten-
sive knowledge of the classical chamber music repertoire and the
personal relationships he has with world class musicians that we are able to
enjoy such a musical feast every summer.
In addition, the Festival of the Sound could not happen without the efforts of
countless volunteers, together with our wonderful staff, lead by Margaret Boyd.
These individuals tirelessly work all year to present the best three weeks of
classical music that Canada has to offer. A warm thank you must also go to all
the Benefactors, Patrons, Donors, Friends, and Concert Sponsors. Without
your support we would not be able to produce such a fine festival.
Lastly, you, the members of our audience have joined us here in Parry Sound
to experience great music in a superb setting. Thank you for choosing to
support and enjoy live classical music with us!

andrea hansen, violin-director; strings across the sky
Since 1988, Strings Across the Sky has taught fiddling in Northern Canada to
Aboriginal, Métis and Inuit youth. After only a few days of lessons, students
perform in public gaining a new sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.
Since many of today’s players are beginners performing before an audience
for the first time, what happens on stage is pure magic. The Festival of the
Sound is proud to work with Strings Across the Sky by offering the children the
opportunity to perform in our wonderful concert hall.

Whether you’re listening in a concert hall or on your iPod, concert music has the power to move you. The right knowledge can deepen the ability of this music to edify, enlighten, and stir the soul. This is a comprehensive, accessible guide to how music has mirrored Western history, that will transform the experience for novice and long-time listeners alike.
Why Mahler? Why does his music affect us in the way it does? Norman Lebrecht, one of the world’s most widely read cultural commentators, has been wrestling obsessively with Mahler for half his life. Lebrecht constructs a compelling new portrait of Mahler as a man who lived determinedly outside his own times. Mahler was a maker of our modern world.

Family Concert
new Zealand string Quartet
In a one hour program the engaging members of the New Zealand String
Quartet introduce a range of musical ideas to a family audience, using audi-
ence participation, theatre and lively explanations. These programs are suited
to an audience with children in the 4-10 year old age group and are market-
ed to parents and grandparents. The program includes “Goldilocks and the
Three Bears”, a dramatised version of the Goldilocks story, presented in cos-
tume, which is used to introduce each instrument of the string quartet one by
one. The three bears are musicians and it turns out that Goldilocks plays the
violin too. The piece ends with the three bears forming a string quartet with
Goldilocks and performing part of the ‘Pachelbear’ Canon.
Using audience participation, the four musicians introduce other illustrated
program segments including “Talking instruments”, “Where’s the melody?” and
“Recognising moods and emotions in music”. Musical examples range from
Gershwin and Scott Joplin to Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Bartók.

Rich in history, piano duo Anagnoson & Kinton are entering a remarkable fourth decade of performing. As The Ottawa Citizen noted: “Anagnoson and Kinton’s playing is everything that duo-piano playing should be.” This duo has enchanted audiences throughout North America, Europe, China and Russia. In addi-tion to performing with major Canadian orchestras, their nine CD titles include works for two pianos, two pianos with orchestra, and one piano-four hands. In 2006, a compilation CD titled ‘Stages’ celebrating their milestone 30th season was launched. James Anagnoson is Dean of The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School. Leslie Kinton is on the faculties of The Glenn Gould School and the University of Western Ontario.
The all-Canadian Afiara String Quartet offers performances of “startling intensity” with a “powerful, keen-edged collec-tive sound.” Winners of the Concert Artists Guild International Competition, the Young Canadian Musicians Award, top prizes at the Munich ARD International Music Competition and the Banff International String Quartet Competition, where they also took the Szekely Prize for the best performance of Beethoven, the Afiara balances a lively interest in new works with deep insight into core classical repertoire. In the 2010/11 season, the Afiara String Quartet performs throughout North America and internationally. They make a studio recording at the Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich, and return to the Glenn Gould School at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory of Music as Visiting-Quartet-in-Residence.
Julie Baumgartel has studied at Indiana University, the Freiburg Conservatory and the University of Toronto and has performed with Tafelmusik, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Orchestre des Champs Élysées across Europe, North America and Asia.

Born into a musical Romani (Gypsy) family in Nyiregyhaza, Hungary, the mainly self-taught Robi Botos began his musical career when he was just a child, playing drums, and percussion with his father and two brothers. It was at age seven when Robi first took up piano, the instrument he has since mastered and with which he has made his mark. Robi’s notable performances include: Concert at the Long Beach Entertainment Centre, open-ing concert for Bela Fleck, Stanley Clark, and Jean Luc Ponty, at the 2005 International Downtown Toronto Jazz Festival. As well Robi opened for Oscar Peterson at the prestigious Stravinsky hall in Montreaux Switzerland. Since immigrating to Canada in 1998, Robi has made great contributions to Canada’s jazz scene. He has been featured with many local and international greats.
Chris Bezant was born in Thornhill, Ontario. Though immersed in music throughout his life, he found his true calling when he first heard the great Django Reinhardt. He has performed through-out Canada and Europe, and has had the privilege of connecting with masters of the style throughout the world during his travels. Currently, Chris lives in Toronto as a performer and composer. He leads a swing band named the Hot Club of South-East Central, and is a member of Safety In Numbers.
A prizewinner at the 1993 Naumburg competition and a recipient of the 1996-97 Prix Opus, Yehonatan Berick is in high demand internationally as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician (on violin as well as on viola) and pedagogue. His busy concert schedule has already taken him throughout North America, Europe and Israel. Previously teaching at McGill University and the Eastman School of Music, Yehonatan Berick is currently Professor of Violin at the School of Music at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Yehonatan Berick currently plays on a violin by Honoré Derazy Pere from 1852, and a viola by Stanley Kiernoziak from 2003.
In 1999, young virtuosos from different cultures gathered around a musical score for their fondness for chamber music. The spe-cific sonority of the Brussels Chamber Orchestra, as well as an extremely profound stylistic research is the result of this union. Indeed, this group brings together six nationalities, each individual bringing their own country’s cultural sensitivity, forging a fabulous covenant between Asian discipline and European fantasy. The Brussels Chamber Orchestra has been graciously honoured with a residency at the prestigious institute of the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels.
Thrilling, manic, glorious, superbly sung and malevolently acted, rich, powerful, elegant, soft-grained, and spine-tingling are but a few of the epithets the media have used to describe Canadian opera sensation Russell Braun. In concert, opera and recital, the international stages of the world are his - whether it be the Metropolitan Opera in New York, l’Opéra de Paris, the State Opera in Vienna, the Lyric Opera in Chicago, the Los Angeles Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Salzburg or the Glyndebourne Festival. His powerful voice and commanding presence have given vigour to such roles as Billy Budd, Prince Andrei, Figaro, Papageno, Count Almaviva, Don Giovanni, Pelléas, and Eugene Onegin.
Macha Belooussova started her music studies in her hometown of Yekaterinburg, Russia. She then studied with Vladimir Tropp at The Gnessine Institute in Moscow where she obtained the Artist Diploma in 1991. She went to Paris to study with Christian Ivaldi at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (CNSMDP) while working as a concert artist. Macha Belooussova now teaches chamber music at the CNSMDP. As the permanent pianist with the French ensemble ‘Musique Oblique’, she recorded a CD of the music of Franck and Chausson and one with the music of Ravel. She travels around the world and has played in Carnegie Hall and the Concertgebouw.
James Campbell has been Artistic Director of the Festival of the Sound since 1985 and has programmed approximately 1250 fes-tival concerts, many heard nationally on CBC radio. He has taken the Festival to London, the USA, Japan, and Holland. Under his direction features on the festival have appeared on BBC Radio and Television, CBC Radio and Television, and TVOntario.
