“As we sipped our coffee, we looked out at the sun sparkling on the lake in front of our cottage and reminisced about our wonderful summer holiday made even more special by our attending seven Festival concerts…. Each concert was more special than the previous one…”

– 2006 Festival of the Sound attendee, in a letter to the Board of Directors

“The Festival is a HOOT! Whether in rehearsal, in concert, at the gym, enjoying the outdoors, drinking great coffee...or spending time with friends, Parry Sound is always fun. It’s a pleasure to be back.”

– Guy Few, 2007 Festival artist, piano and trumpet

“The Festival brings all the hours of listening to CBC Radio Two during the winter – to life in the summer.”

“Music Scores is a unique and brilliantly conceived program. Demonstrating and explaining the music to the kids on their own turf, then getting them together to hear it in a concert setting is incredibly effective. They learn to listen as the layers are revealed, and are exposed to high-quality live music at a very impressionable age. If this program was in place in every community, music appreciation would skyrocket. I've never had such an
enthusiastic audience!”

– Chase Sanborn, jazz musician and Music Scores performer, April 2007
