RSCC friends and collaborators Michael Schmidt and Elisa van der Hout of Glencolton Farms and their many musical friends are once again bringing culture and agri-culture together by hosting a summer music festival out in the country (about two hours north of Toronto) at Glencolton Farms. And it’s taking place this coming weekend July 30th to August 1st.
Past Symphony in the Barn events have also featured prepared food attractions with celebrity chefs, but that doesn’t seem to be taking place this year. Perhaps the food program was a casualty of Covid restrictions. But after more than a year of lockdowns, we can be grateful for a live musical event of this magnitude, even if it doesn’t come with food. See program details below:
Symphony in the Barn 2021 Festival Weekend will take place from July 30th to August 1st, 2021. The critically acclaimed Symphony in the Barn Festival at Glencolton Farms, which is one of Canada’s leading biodynamic farms, brings together music, performance installations, and the tastes and sounds of idyllic farm life as an immersive backdrop for a three-day weekend festival.
This concert event will be LIVE and in-person. Symphony in the Barn is excited to present all five Beethoven Concerti featuring an astounding line up of Canadian soloists with strings orchestra.
