The Festival of the Sound offers intimate performances by outstanding chamber musicians in the spectacular Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts on the shores of Georgian Bay. To present world calibre concerts at affordable prices, the Festival Board raises two dollars for every dollar generated at the Box Office. A recent survey or Canadian performing arts organizations with similar budgets showed that 4.7% of the total revenue was raised by individual donations. Our individual donors contributed 18% of our revenue. Thanks to the support of this wonderful membership base, we are now one of Canada’s most successful musical organizations.

All contributions are gratefully received and are eligible for a tax credit receipt. With a donation of $25 or more, you become a member of the Festival of the Sound and receive a pre-Christmas mailing with special offers on passes and merchandise, our newsletter Soundings, early mailing of the season brochure, and listing in the souvenir programme.
