MUSKOKA LAKES MUSIC<br />
FESTIVAL<br />
As I looked at the web site for<br />
the Huntsville Festival a,nd the<br />
Muskoka Lakes Festival I was ·<br />
struck by the emphasis placed<br />
on the relationship of these<br />
festivals to the communities in<br />
which they are located. In<br />
addition to the cultural<br />
enrichment it provides for area<br />
residents, cottagers and visitors<br />
alike, the Festival plays an<br />
important role in the rural<br />
economy and vitality of<br />
Muskoka. For example, this was<br />
taken from the Muskoka Lakes<br />
Music Festival's web site:<br />
"It has a very positive·impaCt<br />
on quality oflife in Muskoka.<br />
Many people have been<br />
introduced to world~class<br />
classical music and other art<br />
forms that would otherwise not<br />
have been through local<br />
availability and low ticket prices.<br />
We have provided music for<br />
many art shows and for other<br />
local fundraising groups, in the<br />
area of arts and heritage<br />
specifically anc\ other not-forprofit<br />
groups. As the Festival<br />
grows it is attracting ~udiences<br />
from all over the province and<br />
beyond, significantly<br />
increasing tourism and adding<br />
im{11easurably to the local<br />
economy."<br />
If this is true. of a single<br />
summer music festival, think of<br />
the imp act of the 300+ concerts<br />
a mun th occurring in ·Toronto -<br />
is anyone listening?<br />
