Music, throughout history, has had the unique and mysterious power and ability to transcend time, space and all other types of boundaries. It can unite and change people of all ages and cultural backgrounds whether it uses any language or none at all. Its very essence can reach in and speak directly to a person’s soul, like nothing else can or ever could in our world, since the dawn of time and music itself. As the world changes and the events everywhere are unfurling ever faster and becoming more demanding in our everyday lives, people everywhere are struggling daily as they confront life’s challenges, whether naturally occurring or man-made, while still trying to move forward. At the very heart and soul of this world, our shared world, and every one of us who lives upon it, we share the same basic hopes and dreams in life deep within us. Though our differing thoughts and ways of achieving it often give rise to great conflict, even when our words fail us and our emotions take hold of us; this world’s music, our music, from time immemorial will continue to communicate, nurture, soothe and guide us, as it did for all those who came before us and for all those who will come after us. Known for its beautiful tonal colours and incredible power, the Yamaha CFX concert grand Music is needed now, more than ever before. That is why the Festival of the Sound that provides piano has been selected by top competitors at international piano competitions. these rare and unique opportunities for everyone to experience and enjoy is invaluable. Yamaha is a proud sponsor of the 2019 Festival of the Sound. We here at the Bay Street Café are pleased to offer the Festival our continued support and encouragement as they continue to provide us all with the quality and variety of music they have become so famously renowned for.
