"Orford Music, formerly the Orford Arts Centre, is pleased to count Canadian Heritage among its long-standing partners. Once again this year, this financial support will help us achieve our artistic mission. The coming summer season will have a definite focus on accessibility, youth, internationalism and novelty, and nearly two out of three concerts will feature emerging artists! Music lovers will be delighted because there will be something for everyone. I''ve selected fabulous internationally known musicians, many of whom will be making their first visit to Quebec. Let''s celebrate our love of music together as we''ve always done at Orford. I promise you that this will be a memorable summer!"
