Students of Music at Port Milford performed outside the Picton and Wellington libraries earlier this month.
Music at Port Milford goes rock and roll Friday night at the Regent Theatre then heads into its final week of fine chamber music in the County. See below for the schedule.
Music at Port Milford is celebrating its 30th season of bringing chamber music to Prince Edward County.
The Saturday evening Faculty Artist Series at St Mary Magdalene Church features three award-winning Canadian ensembles – The Afiara Quartet (July 16), Ensemble Made in Canada (July 23) and The Tokai Quartet (July 30). The final concert of the season, on August 6, will again see Marie Berard (Concert Master Canadian Opera Company) and other members of Music at Port Milford Core Faculty come together in concert. All concerts begin at 7:30 PM.
Tickets online at www.mpmcamp.org/performances or at the door.
Students of Music at Port Milford will perform chamber, orchestral and choral works on Sunday afternoons at 2pm at MPM Camp, 89 Colliers Rd, MIlford (July 17 and 31) or St Mary Magdalene Church (July 24 and August 7). Admission free (donations appreciated).
On Saturday, July 16 the public strolling about Picton and Wellington will have the opportunity to hear the talented young musicians of MPM as “Music at Port Milford Takes to the Streets” from 10am until noon.
An additional special event this year is “Classic Rock” at the Regent Theatre, Friday July 29, 7:30 pm. This will be an orchestral pops concert produced by MPM faculty member Chris Eastburn and Joe Boucher (creators of “Piano Men”), combining a live rock band and the MPM Orchestra to support Music at Port Milford Summer School and Music Festival. Tickets from The Regent Theatre box office or online at TheRegentTheatre.org.

We were so lucky to attend Classic Rock at the Regent last night.
The MPM Orchestra along with accompanying rock musicians delighted the audience. Vocals were fantastic.
We visited the camp when they performed with the local children’s choir. The students are amazingly talented and the camp itself including the instructors is such a treasure to have in the County!
