OTTAWA FESTIVALS PREVIEW

Natasha Gauthier

OTTAWA’S SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL SCENE has a new kid on the block—sort of. Julian Armour, who founded the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival in 1994 and successfully ran it until he resigned in 2007, is launching a bold new venture. In May, Armour unveiled the lineup for his inaugural Music and Beyond Festival, which runs July 5-14. It certainly bodes well for the festival’s future that the well-con- nected cellist is already able to present a full and varied menu of some 85 concerts and has nabbed some of the biggest Canadian and international names in classical music.
