The Dundas Valley Orchestra presents its final major concert before the summer break on Sunday, May 31st, at 3pm in St. Paul’s United Church, 29 Park St. W., Dundas (corner of Cross and Park Streets). A municipal parking lot is located nearby and the concert will be livestreamed for those who can't get there in person.
The DVO performs Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, a shorter work said to be his most accessible symphony and, in his opinion, containing some of his most beautiful music. Soloist Jocelyn Fralick sings the charming final movement describing a child's idea of heaven.
The concert also features Principal Trombonist, Dan Grieve, and a debut performance of David Archibald's winning entry in the DVO 2026 Student Composer Competition, held for talented young musicians from across Canada. The DVO Student Composer Competition is supported by longtime HAALSA member and councillor, Dr. Peter Banting, a fine musician himself.
Admission is free, though donations are very welcome to help maintain this worthwhile community organization. A charitable receipt will be provided for donations of $10 or more.
