McMichael Gallery

The past 10 years, I have had the pleasure of booking musicians for the McMichael Gallery's Sunday Concerts sponsored by CAMMAC http://www.cammac.ca/ and the Volunteer Committee of the gallery who made me an honourary member last year for ten years of service planning the concerts.

For a a couple weeks, it is hectic-contacting musicians, booking the dates and trying to balance the various types of music and come in on budget but over the years it has become easier. (I am the middle of this planning process and then I am on to planning a much easier series for another organization that I just joined.) Musicians have discovered the concert series and now all I have to do is review all the submissions and create a series with jazz, classical and popular music. The entertainers have been welled received and I am praised for the having the good sense to book them. It is nice to be able to have a hand in creating an opportunity for talented musicians to share their music. Just booked talented jazz musicians like Richard Whiteman and David Occiphinti; classical musicians Peter Stoll and Christopher Lee, the list goes on. If you are in the Toronto area think about a nice afternoon in the country enjoying Canadian art and local musicians in a sublime setting. http://www.mcmichael.com/
