You can regularly read a reflection about each concert written by me or another board member. These posts are written from our point of view as audience members.
In this interview with Doug Gardham, James Campbell looks back at our season-ending concert from the point of view of a musician collaborating with Bryan and Silvie Cheng. He makes some surprising observations.
In the wide-ranging discussion, we learn how an Alberta farm boy was inspired by a teacher along a path that led to his becoming one of Canada’s most esteemed musicians.
He also shares the remarkable story behind the formation of the Festival of the Sound in small-town Ontario. James has been the artistic director of that influential summer series since 1985.
Enjoy these and other stories in this recording kindly shared by Doug Gardham from his blog Better Than Not.
