The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO) is bringing its music to communities across Alberta this summer with a series of free outdoor performances as part of its ESO Outdoors program. The concerts, taking place between August 15th and 25th, will feature a diverse range of music, from classical composers like Johann Sebastian Bach to rock and roll legends The Beatles. The ESO encourages attendees to consider making a donation to support these enriching summer concerts.
Peterborough Musicfest’s 2024 lineup boasts a wide range of genres, from country to alternative rock and tribute performances. The outdoor concerts, held at Del Crary Park every Wednesday and Saturday from June 29 to August 17, are free to attend. With 16 concert dates, Season 37 kicks off with Canadian country music star Tenille Townes on June 29. Other highlights include Metric (alternative rock), Tim Baker and Great Lake Swimmers (indie folk/rock), and Choir! Choir! Choir! (’80s singalong group). The festival aims to bring fans closer to the musicians with a stage that is being brought back this year.
