The Festival of The Sound is best known for presenting Canada’s favourite two-week classical summer music series at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts in Parry Sound, Ontario. But did you know? Now in its fourth decade of delivering exceptional concerts, the company also delights audiences annually with a series of eclectic performances aboard the Island Queen Cruise out of Parry Sound harbour.
