Music and Beyond

First held in 2010, it has since become an annual event, taking place at local venues in Ottawa, Ontario.

Hundreds of performers have appeared at the festival such as soprano Kathleen Battle; pianists Peter Serkin, Menahem Pressler and Janina Fialkowska; the Emerson String Quartet; the Hilliard Ensemble; Daniel Taylor and the Theatre of Early Music; Emma Kirkby; the Chamber Players of Canada; the Canadian Brass; Les Violons du Roy; and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

People traveled from right across Canada, the United States and even Europe to attend the inaugural 2010 Festival.

The Festival had strong attendance from beginning to end, with several concerts at absolute capacity, each attracting more than one thousand fans to a single event.

78.4% of the people who responded to this year's surveys stated that Music and Beyond greatly enhanced their image of the National Capital Region.
