This will be a wonderful concert!

Join us at our grand finale concert, on the first day of Summer, June 20th at 3pm! " It's Summertime- A Musical Celebration" presented by all of our awesome Wild Music School musicians.
Everyone welcome- we look forward to sharing the music with you.
This concert is by donation and will also be a fundraiser for our WMS Bursary Fund, bringing music classes and instruments to many more children in Antigonish community. This fund has made it possible for 60 students at Antigonish Education Centre to learn a String instrument this school year in the Fiddle Strings Program. The Fiddle Strings Orchestra will have it's debut performance at this special concert so please come out and support our young musicians.

A huge thanks to everyone who came out to our ALL YOU NEED IS CAKE! fundraiser extravaganza Sunday afternoon! We are beyond touched by the community support shown by local businesses and individuals who donated cakes and items for our raffles and silent auctions, and to Antigonish Improv and our cake battle artists who provide their time and talents to help us.

Your support for local arts matters. More and more research is proving to us how essential public art is for mental wellbeing and community development.

If you didn't have the chance to come out but would still like to give to help us as we begin the process of hiring artists for Antigonight, you can send an e-transfer to [email protected], or reach out to us to give cash or cheque: [email protected]
