Collingwood Music Festival 2025 Testimonials

“I think that what you folks are doing for the community is very special and that its effect was very present when I was there.”

“We are all so grateful to the Festival for providing support, encouragement, opportunities, and learning for young musicians. Performing at the CMF really makes a huge difference for youth!”

“Thank you for your leadership and passion for music. The Festival enriches not only the citizens of Collingwood but other nonresidents as well- we drive from Barrie to participate. Hopeful for a proper permanent venue in your wonderful community. Thank you and we will be back next year!”

“I, honestly, have never seen anyone play the piano like you do!! Your mastering of the Gershwin classics was a wonderful treat for all of us to hear. When you asked ‘Who wants to hear Rhapsody in Blue AFTER the break’, and it was silent, I wanted to yell ‘Why can’t we hear it before AND after the break!’”

“It’s fantastic to have this caliber of music in Collingwood! Enjoyed both events that I attended. For me, the highlight of the festival was Daniel Vnukowski’s Rhapsody in Blue performance. Bravo!”

“Wonderful event & look forward to attending next year !”

“Bravo for all of your work putting this on. We really appreciated the guitar trio concert. We will be back!”

“Well done and thanks for everything your group does for our Community and the Arts.”

“Loved hearing the aspiring musicians on July 11”

“Wonderful event & look forward to attending next year !”

“I was so glad I was able to come learn so many new things and meet other like-minded people with similar interests. I hope I can do something like this in Collingwood again!”
