It begins today. Musicians, singers, solo performers, choirs, duos, quartets small manner of combinations begin arriving in Barrie for the sixth annual Colours of Music.
The festival features a lineup of Canadian and internationally-acclaimed musicians and singers, performing in several concerts each day from today through Oct. 5.
Look for lots of diversity and highlights in this year’s festival. There’s plenty of local interest, too.
“This past year, the high schools have started guitar programs,” said festival organizer Bruce Owen, citing area secondary schools in Orillia, Penetanguishene and Barrie (Bear Creek and Eastview).
“There seems to be a real explosion in guitar. I wanted to bring in one of the best guitar quartets anywhere. The Aurora Guitar Quartet (from Washington, D. C.) agreed to come and do performances and workshops. There are so many (students) taking guitar, (we’re) having trouble planning to accommodate them.”
Since the festival began, many of the artists who perform in public concerts during their 10-days in Barrie have also given their time for student workshops, where students are either bussed into Barrie or the musicians/ singers travel to schools all over Simcoe County.
