Festival of the Sound

Festival of the Sound

Festival of the Sound is an annual classical music festival that occurs from July to August in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada.

Established in 1980 by Anton Kuerti, the festival's original artistic director, the annual festival was held in the auditorium of Parry Sound High School until the opening of the town's Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts in 2003. The festival presents a daily program of classical music performances by both Canadian and international musicians over a period of approximately three weeks. Noted performers at the festival have included Russell Braun, Mary Lou Fallis, Yo-Yo Ma and Ofra Harnoy. The program has also occasionally included pop and jazz performers, including Catherine McKinnon, Rob McConnell, Moe Koffman and Dizzy Gillespie.
