On Saturday December 6th at 3pm, come join the Collingwood Music Festival (CMF) family at First Presbyterian Church for a seasonal concert chock-full of sparkle and cheer with BROADSWAY, starring four of Canada’s finest musical theatre, jazz and cabaret artists singing their unique arrangements of Broadway yuletide classics and lesser-known seasonal gems with tons of musicality and humour. Titled “The Most Wonderful Time … Maybe!” this matinee performance features Dora Mavor Moore award-nominee Diane Leah, JUNO and ECMA nominee Heather Bambrick, international touring artist Julie Michels, and newest member, jazz / cabaret vocalist Kylie Martin. CBC Radio has called it the best Christmas party ever and it has delighted audiences and it has delighted audiences across the province and beyond.
The festival’s Artistic Director, Daniel Vnukowski is very excited about this show, stating “Around here, we like to chase away the winter blues with a healthy dose of joy, laughter, and song. That’s exactly what our holiday concert is all about this year – a chance to celebrate the season with friends, family, and plenty of music to keep your spirits bright. Music has the rare power to slow us down and bring us together. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this! In fact, tickets for this special concert are well on the way to selling out. And for the first time ever for our concerts, you may now choose your own seat when buying advance tickets.“
