The Stratford Symphony Orchestra presents its summer celebration of all things musical on Sunday afternoon, June 26, at 1:30 p.m. at the David and Annamarie Murray dairy farm near Mitchell.
Cows & Classics 2016 will feature an eclectic collection of performers, including:
Chloe Weir, Ontario Provincial Open Musical Theatre Gold Medalist
The Sills Boys (Isaiah, Jacob, Matteo), part of a very musical family who live in Seaforth. Their soprano voices "could very well bring tears to your eyes when they sing 'You Raise Me Up,' " says David Murray.
Reid Spencer, singer and voice teacher, whose friendship with Mr. Murray goes back to their days as music students at Laurier University.
The Hogtown Brass Quintet, a Toronto-based chamber ensemble whose priority "is to bring brass chamber music to new audiences and to reinvigorate the classic brass ensemble." One of its founding members is trumpet player Tristan Tye, son of SSO volunteers Judy and Alan Tye.
