Festival Pontiac Enchanté at Venturing Hills Farm
Festival Pontiac Enchanté brings together seasoned professional players and advanced music students from the Ottawa area, including Carson Becke (piano). This year two young artists from Europe, Hinrich Alpers (piano) and Lauren Steel (cello), as well as Nathaniel Frank-Anderson from Toronto, and bass-baritone Robert Pomakov join the performers.
The 100 mile Gala dinner and concert was last weekend, and last night's program included romantic piano trios by Mozart and Beethoven, and a Schubert nocturne. After the concert a Whip-poor-will could be heard nearby.
There are still five concerts - this weekend (23 and 24 July) and next (29, 30 and 31 July). The concerts on Friday and Saturday start at 7:30 pm, those on Sunday start at 2:30 pm.
For the program see the Venturing Hills website.

A taste of the Pontiac - showcase for local businesses
The Action Pontiac group is forging ahead to organise an open day for Pontiac businesses, artists and all residents, on behalf of the municipality of Pontiac, under the stewardship of Councillor Inès Pontiroli. This year the event will be held on Sunday August 21 from 11 am to 4 pm, in and around the Lions Hall in Quyon. The theme will be "A taste of the Pontiac" and to that end local food producers are encouraged to book a spot and enthusiastically show us their wares: from local honey to local beef, not forgetting alpacas, cider and corn producers. Other businesses and services are also most welcome (contact Sandy St. George for details and to book a spot sandy_stgeorge@pioneerwireless.ca).
There will be music, food tasting, and an art display. We are working on having a corn roast and/or bacon-on-a-bun. Beer and wine and soft drinks will be available in the Lions Hall. Come and find out what is planned to rejuvenate the waterfront in Quyon, and about the future Parc du Saults-des-Chats de Pontiac, which is a shared project with Bristol, and other local projects. Maybe we can persuade all members of council to come and meet the people in a relaxed setting. Let's make this a memorable day!
