“The Prince Edward County Chamber Music Festival is thrilled to share concerts from its 2020 and 2021 seasons filmed in Picton County’s St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church and Salle Bourgie in Montreal. Performances by current and former Artistic Directors – the New Orford String Quartet and Stéphane Lemelin – along with violists Douglas McNabney and Barry Shiffman, and a special collaboration with the Juno award-winning bluegrass ensemble, the Slocan Ramblers, bring to life works by Jacques Hétu, Ludwig van Beethoven, the Slocan Ramblers and Tom Petty (arrangement by Jessica Deutsch). “
