Northern Lights Music Festival draws up another packed program

Plans are well advanced for the 11th annual Scotiabank Northern Lights Music Festival, which will take place in various Lakeside locations between February 17 and March 1.

Festival founder and Artistic Director Chris Wilshere says the packed program of 16 concerts in 13 days “would not be possible without the wonderful support of Scotiabank and the outstanding Lakeside community.”

Last year’s festival was a great success and, as a result, it was possible to bring one of Canada’s top violin luthiers and restorers to work on more than 50 violins, cellos and violas of young Lakeside music students and those of the Orquesta Axixic.

It also facilitated awards of over 50,000 pesos’ worth of scholarships to young Lakeside and Guadalajara music students.
