-
The Virtual Performing Arts Festiival is a celebration of the rich music culture in the region of Waterloo.
-
It brings together under one “virtual roof” recorded music performances primarily from the 2011 regular concert season of music ensembles in the performing arts community from the Waterloo region.
-
-
A “traditional” music festival involves ensembles performing at “brick and mortar” facilities.
Our "facility" is an on-line festival experience and through it you can stream on-demand concerts throughout the festival period.
