Our Sponsors

We have created a very special season of music for our fabulous Tenth Anniversary Season! We wish to thank our community and sponsors for making this possible. The Reeders and the Prasad's of Collingwood have been emmensely supportive since 2000. Heritage Canada, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts and the Town of Collingwood realize how important the Collingwood Music Festival is for our region. As well, Anton Kuerti has continued to lend us a musical hand on many occasions. Wayne Chen of Richmond Hill Piano and Keyboard Centre has given us magnificent pianos. Joe Lagan, through his artistic and creative knowledge, is making our 10th anniversary website sparkle! Bill Barlow, our graphic designer is helping us put together our finest brochure and Festival literature.Of course our volunteers and President, Rosemarie Pedulla add to the excitement and the ease of having our concerts. Without Cafe Chartreuse our gala events would not have that special French touch of excellent food, prepared with such care. Lastly, our 10th anniversary will be created with the best people in the world: our musicians.

The Collingwood Music Festival will provide an eclectic mix of classical, jazz and world music, celebrating the cultures that make up our nation. And to celebrate our tenth year, the 2009 concert season will have as a special focus a Celebration of the Voice - our first instrument, and the one which still has the most power to move, enthral and enchant us.
