The Program is now available for purchase at the Chatham music shops.
We found one misprint. In the PDF file we took to the printer, one class was not included on page 64. This is how the lower part of that page should have looked like:
Jordan Clayton is a passionate violinist, violist, and music educator based in London, Ontario. He holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Violin Performance from Western University, and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Ottawa. In addition to his work as a private teacher, Jordan is currently Music Director of the Forest City School for Strings, where he serves as conductor, senior chamber music coach, and violin class instructor.
We just finished putting together the Program for our 80th annual Chatham Kiwanis Music Festival. It is in print now but you can download a PDF version. Please check back for last minute changes and updates.
Canadian pianist Angela Park has been praised for her “stunningly beautiful pianism” (Grace Welsh Prize, Chicago), “beautiful tone and sensitivity” (American Record Guide), and for performing “with such brilliant clarity it took your breath away” (Chapala, Mexico).
Angela’s versatility as both soloist and chamber musician has led to performances across Canada, as well as in the United States, Europe, Japan and Mexico. She is a founding member of the JUNO award-winning Ensemble Made In Canada, a group she performed with from 2006-2020.
