About MCA
The
Muskoka Concert Association
began in 1947 under the sponsorship of the Gravenhurst
Rotary Club.
Today
the organization
runs as a community-based association, directed by a volunteer
Board. It is one of the longest-running concert associations in
Ontario.
The objectives of the
Association are three-fold: to enhance the
awareness and enjoyment of classical music for all age groups; to
provide at a reasonable cost a variety of quality musical performances,
accessible to all, in community facilities; and to endeavour to sponsor
musical outreach events for students.
Some of Canada's finest artists who have
appeared for the MCA include soprano Lois
Marshall, bass Jan Rubes, contralto Maureen Forrester, tenor Jon
Vickers, guitarist Liona Boyd,
the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, pianist Anton Kuerti, and the Aradia
Ensemble.
This year marks the Association's 65th season.
In acknowledgement of this 'senior' milestone, the MCA presents Young at Heart, a
tribute to young and accomplished Canadian performers, and to you, the
audience, who has supported the Association for sixty-five years!
Please join us at the Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre for the gala
fundraising event that will open this
outstanding season with cheer. As always, you are welcome
to meet the artists and enjoy refreshments in the Trillium Court
following each performance at the Gravenhurst Opera House.
