Thank-you from Music Niagara
Dear Friends of Music Niagara,
As we close our 27th Summer Festival in beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake, I want to extend heartfelt thanks to you – our loyal audience, generous sponsors, and dedicated volunteers—whose support made this season not only unforgettable, but a true celebration of community.
This season celebrated resilience, creativity, and joy – from the brilliance of our Young Virtuoso Series, to the powerful Glory to Ukraine, to the inspiring performance of Jeremiah Sparks with the Shaw Gospel Choir, and the ever-popular Pops Series that brought our community together.
We celebrated the second year under our new tent at Ironwood Cider House, enjoyed concerts at beautiful venues across town, and even welcomed local food trucks as part of our Pops Series experience.
This season also shone thanks to our amazing Volunteer Coordinator, Dianne Hall, and the countless volunteers who gave their time and energy. Music Niagara simply could not exist without you.
But most of all – it is you, our audience and sponsors, who make it possible for us to continue offering world-class performances in intimate and unique settings across Niagara-on-the-Lake. Thank you for your continued loyalty and support!
Looking ahead, we are excited to bring you new and innovative performances, including Arts Unbound, a special talent show for artists who live with a disability, in partnership with Community Living Grimsby, Lincoln, and West Lincoln.
On behalf of our Board of Directors, Artistic Director, and the entire Music Niagara team, thank you for sharing this season with us. Together, we are building not only seasons of music, but a lasting legacy of culture and community. We can’t wait to welcome you back very soon.
With gratitude,
Atis Bankas & Karen Lade
Artistic Director, General Manager
