Events not to be missed as ASK Festival King continuesKindred Spirits Orchestra with top chefs/caterers of King. It takes place today (Thursday) July 4 at 7 p.m. at Performing Arts Centre, Country Day School near King City. Tickets are available at the door for $35, and seniors/students are $30. Enjoy music, art and food in a beautiful location overlooking a pond in one of two featured events in this week's lineup for Arts Society King (ASK) Festival King. The Junction Trio, a three-some of Toronto-based musicians, will perform an innovative recital of post-industrial classical music, with overtones of nature, reflective of their idols, the Group of Seven painters. Joining them this Sunday afternoon (July 7) will be celebrated visual artist Doris Pontieri who will create a painting based on the music she hears with her heart. Pontieri's painting, Northern Birch Trees, was recently shown at the Louvre in Paris and gained her international recognition. This unique combination of painting and music will be presented in a natural outdoor amphitheatre on a country estate in the rolling hills of King. Following the performance, high tea will be served. At another outstanding location, the grounds of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Tom Thomson and his life will be explored. Through a tour of his studio and paintings and a screening of West Wind: The Vision of Tom Thomson, guests will have an opportunity to understand the unique vision of the painter who helped shape the Canadian identity, but who died so young. At this event this coming Monday (July 8), participants will be able to wander through the MCAC and visit the new exhibit: Ansel Adams and Edward Burtynsky. These are world-famous photographers; one who shoots natural landscapes and the other, human ones. Participants will also be served lunch in the newly renovated Cashew and Clive restaurant. There is still room left in some of the Discover The Creative You workshops. Next week, there will be Watercolour on Rock Paper, Negative Painting, Textured Abstracts, Encaustic and Mixed Media, and Fused Glass Intermediate. Note that Sculpture for Everyone and Ceramics for Your Table are both full, but waiting lists are being compiled for new workshops (to be determined). There are two special photographic workshops during Family Nature Days. They are July 6, from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Thornton Bales CA with Tom Wray and July 13 from 5 to 8 a.m. Adult Sunrise Hike and Click with Garry Conway. |
