UPDATE FROM THE BROTT MUSIC FESTIVAL<\/del><\/h1>\n

The Brott Music Festival<\/a> to produce Brott Music Live <\/em>a series of interactive webcast performances Saturday nights starting May 2.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brott Music Live <\/em>is delighted to present a series of regular Saturday evening online informal concerts, highlighting programs of Brott Festival. The series will feature the artists we will be hearing in concert once restrictions are lifted and we can gather together again.<\/p>\n

The performances will take place on Zoom and Facebook Live, from BMF\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>, starting Saturdays at 7:30 pm. Each concert will be approximately 45 minutes, taking place \u201clive\u201d from the homes of the artist(s) and will include musical numbers and an interview with Artistic Director Boris Brott.<\/p>\n

This \u201cJohnny Carson\u201d type of informal event will be interactive and viewers will be encouraged to comment and question in real-time using their laptop or smartphone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to engage, live and in real-time, with audiences and the artists personally in a way that would be impossible at a concert. Now more than ever, we need the power of music to bring us together and to help us heal. Brott Music Live <\/em>will allow us to support one another, interact and share the joy of music\u201d said Brott.<\/p>\n

The Brott Music Festival<\/a> is Canada\u2019s largest not-for-profit orchestral and opera music festival and the only <\/em><\/strong>festival with a full-time, professional orchestra-in-residence. The Festival is renowned for its extremely high artistic standards, world-class soloists, its exuberant orchestra and its eclectic mix of orchestral, opera, Broadway, chamber, jazz, pops and education concerts at various venues across Southern Ontario.<\/p>\n
