About<\/del><\/h1>\n

Mooredale Concerts strives to make great classical music accessible to everyone. We want to inspire music appreciation in people of all ages and to foster involvement in further music pursuits. Our particular emphasis is on music education for the young, through our Youth Orchestras program and Music & Truffles series.<\/p>\n

The jewel of Mooredale Concerts is our Concert Series \u2013 6 superb concerts presented intimately and informally on smaller stages. Our performers are acclaimed local, national, and international professionals plus sparkling young artists with great careers ahead of them.<\/p>\n

Mooredale Concerts continues to earn its reputation for highest quality music presentation at rock bottom prices, and as a result we have a solid following of concert-goers from Southern Ontario, including more than 600 subscribers.\u00a0\u00a0 Mooredale Concerts is a not for profit and after 27 years in operation, remains a volunteer based organization.<\/p>\n

Events<\/del><\/h1>\n

Mooredale Concerts offer three different performance-oriented programs.<\/p>\n

Concert Series:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Six Sunday afternoon performances by world-class musicians offering traditional and very distinctive, exotic programming designed to showcase a wide view of classical music. In addition to standard chamber music groupings, we often offer unique performance combinations like classical guitar with voice, and trombone with organ, and often feature less frequently heard instruments like harp, oboe, horn, and viola. In keeping with our commitment to new talent, we\u2019ve also presented winners of the Young Canadian Musicians Award and Banff International String Quartet Competition. Our most memorable performance was Julian and Anton Kuerti, son and father, conductor and pianist, living proof of Mooredale Concerts\u2019 roots. Last season we featured a new string quartet composition by Canadian Tim Brady and Canadian debut of the Dublin Guitar Quartet, focused solely on 20th<\/sup>\/21st<\/sup> Century works for classical guitar. This season, it will be a European vocal quintet!<\/p>\n

Music and Truffles:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Music and Truffles enters its 13th year. They are hour-long versions of the above Concert Series (usually five concerts), presented for young people ages 6-11 and take place 2 hours before at [1:15-2:15 pm]. Through this unique series, Mooredale Concerts educates children about classical music and not only builds future audiences but also future musicians; some of which become players in our youth orchestras. We also welcome unaccompanied adults who want to learn about classical music without making a large time\/price commitment and have attracted new patrons, who enjoy the youthful, abandoning atmosphere. And everyone receives a Lindt chocolate truffle at the end. Sweet!<\/p>\n

Youth Orchestras:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Mooredale Youth Orchestras train young musicians ages six – twenty (115 this season) in the classical orchestral repertoire and prepares them for three performances a year. There are three orchestras [junior – ages 12 and under, intermediate – ages 10-15, senior – ages 12-20 with Royal Conservatory Grade 8 and higher]. As a unique feature, we encourage the Concert Series artists to perform\/sit-in with the Senior Orchestra, and we provide discounted tickets to parents\/players for the performances. \u00a0See here<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n
