Barrie Concerts & Georgian Music



Thank you for attending our 2023-2024 concert season – our first full season since 2018-2019.

It has been wonderful to be attending live music concerts again. We have two concerts remaining: Cello duo VC2 with Beethoven rebooted, and Pianofest.

Tickets for 2024-2025 are finally ready to go on sale. We have another exciting line-up, from old favourites to new groups, including Duo Turgeon, Devah Quartet, True North Brass, Ensemble Caprice, guitar vocal duo Hall and Farley, and many others.

We would like to welcome our new Artistic Director, John French, to the team. He has been the Artistic Director of the Brookside Music Association for several years. We are excited to have him on the team to maintain the excellent programming that the Barrie Concert Association is known for.

As always, PianoFest is included with each subscription as a bonus.
