    Recent Press Reviews

    "This summer-long event at a French Gothic church near the western PEI town of Kensington may have the best collection of musicans of any small festival in the country. There's a strong emphasis on the voice, with visits by sopranos Isabel Bayrakdarian, Nathalie Paulin and Suzie LeBlanc; baritone Peter Barrett; cabaret singer Patricia O'Callaghan; Punjabi ghazal singer Kiran Ahluwalia; vocal ensemble musica intima and Cape Breton singer-songwriter J.P. Cormier. There are also performances by the Gryphon Trio and a versatile supporting ensemble anchored by pianists Peter Tiefenbach and Robert Kortgaard, who steers the whole thing as artistic director."

    Robert Everett-Green, Globe and Mail, June 2007

    Featured Concerts

    Welcome to the Indian River Festival and some of our featured concerts.
    Cantabile - Comedy and the Classics
    Friday, July 11, 7:30
    From London, England, Cantabile has been delighting audiences since 1982 with their amazing range of programmes and vocal versatility from a cappella favorites to sacred music, with some jazz and swing thrown in... superb harmonies and pure entertainment. Cantabile - The London Quartet, is outstanding in all singing styles!
    From Shanghai with Love - Susanne Hou
    Sunday, August 17, 7:30 pm
    She’s absolutely phenomenal, said Lord Yehudi Menuhin. Strad Magazine says her sound is strangely strong yet delicate; her technique near flawless. Need we say more? International competition awards, glowing reviews from around the globe and the loan of a rare and exquisite violin from the Canada Council instrument bank. Within the sweet acoustics of St. Mary’s Church, this is a performance that can’t be missed.
    Summer’s Tide
    Dawn Langstroth
    Friday, July 18th, 7:30 pm
    Into the circle of life and music comes Dawn Langstroth, singer and songwriter from Toronto, whose roots run deep within the Maritimes. A rising star whose musical heritage is of such iconic stature that you won’t be surprised by how she will win your heart!
