ELORA – The Elora Festival has announced its July concert line up for its return to an in-person event.
After two years of online mini festivals, the festival is returning with over 30 concerts presented over three weekends from July 8 to 24.
“With concert halls largely silent for most of the last two years, we’re so excited to be planning for a return to live performances this summer,” said artistic director Mark Vuorinen in a press release.
“We have many exciting concerts planned, both featuring the home team, The Elora Singers, and plenty of wonderful guests from across the country and around the world.”
The line up features choral and mainstream music, jazz and chamber ensembles, children’s programming, free concerts in the village and world premieres of commissioned works and special presentations.
The festival will open with a show at the Gambrel Barn, attached to a County of Wellington roads garage on Wellington Road 21, with the Bach B Minor Mass, featuring guest soloists, members of the Summer Vocal Program and the Elora Singers.
The Elora Singers will also be part of an additional five collaborative concerts alongside other Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Slean, world music ensemble Autorickshaw and the Penderecki String Quartet, the Rolston String Quartet, Canadian Brass, and the TorQ Percussion Quartet.
The festival is seeking volunteers and billets for festival artists and it is also hiring for new position for summer students and office staff in the near future.
Tickets for the 2022 Elora Festival go on sale at noon on April 5.
The full line up and tickets can be found here or by calling the box office at (519)-846-0331 on Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
