I’ll be opening the afternoon with a short solo set before ChromaDuo present a full program of duo works, followed by their masterclass later in the day.

ChromaDuo (Tracy Anne Smith and Rob MacDonald) are internationally touring artists with a long-standing musical partnership and a deeply expressive approach to the repertoire.

Their playing has a real clarity and warmth that I’ve long admired, so it’s a real pleasure to share the stage with them in Barrie!!

Looking forward to seeing some familiar and new faces there.

What a day at the Simcoe Guitar Festival!

Participants took part in workshops on guitar technique with Tim Beattie , improvisation with Joe Huron , and ensemble playing with Emma Rush , alongside one-to-one lessons with Tim, Joe, Emma, and Matthew McAllister throughout the day.

We had a full house at the concert, with Emma Rush and Matthew McAllister wowing our audience, and a wonderful performance by our festival guitar ensemble.

We wrapped up with a masterclass led by Matthew McAllister, where Ethan and Karen performed beautifully and observers gained valuable insights into performance and interpretation.

Thank you to all who attended and participated, as well as to our sponsors and community partners. We were absolutely blown away by the support.

And this is just the beginning: we’re building a community around the guitar here in Simcoe County.

Can’t wait to welcome you to our next event with ChromaDuo in May. Details coming soon!
