Fall Greetings from the Artistic Director
October 2011
Message from Patricia Abbott, Artistic Director, Lake MacDonald Music Centre
The spectacular summer-like weather combined with the brilliant fall colours and a full house made for a memorable Thanksgiving weekend at Lake MacDonald this year. Thank you to all the teachers and weekend director Anne-Marie Denoncourt for all their hard work. Everyone enjoyed singing and playing John Rutter’s Te Deum under Marg Stubington’s direction. The drawing classes with José Duclos and the hike with biologist Anne-François Rocheleau’s nature commentary were much appreciated additions to the weekend activities. Our delicious Sunday banquet was followed by an equally delicious concert of Beethoven and Dohnanyi trios with the Trio Morpheus (Mark Djokic, Frédéric Lambert and Chloé Dominguez). Friends Hélène Plouffe, Anne-Marie Denoncourt and Marie-Annick Béliveau joined them for Chausson’s Chanson perpétuelle. Mark Simons and Lubo Alexandrov livened up the Musical Happy Hour and the close of the cabaret evening. Thanks to their friends Sergiu Popa and Jessica Gal who joined them!
We were also privileged to be part of a very special event. Longtime CAMMACers Dorothy and Julio Laufer chose to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary at CAMMAC. They were joined by some 20 members of their family for the entire weekend on this very happy occasion. What a great idea! I know you join me in congratulating Dorothy and Julio for their diamond anniversary.
We are now looking ahead to a late winter/early spring date for the Bach weekend, and to the chamber music weekend in May (May 18-21, 2012). We hope to be able to confirm the dates for the Bach weekend shortly. Of course, planning has already started for the summer 2012 program. In the meantime, I wish you a great fall season.
