"The Orford Music Festival has been able to reinvent itself to carry out its outstanding work of nurturing public appreciation for classical music. This organization enables emerging Canadian musicians to showcase their music while letting the public enjoy the works of the greatest composers in the very heart of the breathtaking Eastern Townships region."

"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!"

- Wonny Song, Artistic Director, Orford Music Festival
