Caledon Music Festival

The "Side-by-Side" program is an opportunity for the young artists and festival artists to collaborate. Each year, we select a number of top Canadian young artists and pair them with the festival artists. The young artists sit alongside the festival artists during rehearsals and a dedicated concert. The highlight of this experience is the Side-by-Side concert, where the collective effort is showcased, demonstrating how well they can create music as a unified team. Beyond the technical aspects of playing instruments, the program emphasizes mentorship and a comprehensive learning experience that goes beyond the rehearsals. The concert becomes a platform to witness the harmonious blend of musicians, illustrating the power of collaboration and a shared passion for music.


This is an outdoor concert in the beautiful Annex Courtyard at the Alton Mill Arts Centre where you will be under a large tent (absolutely covered from rain or sun)!
