Festival Alexandria, now celebrating its 22nd season, is a chamber music series held in a renovated century-old barn just outside of Alexandria, Ontario, on County Rd.45. Located midway between Montreal and Ottawa, it draws performers and audience from these two cities, providing city dwellers with enjoyable music filled summer afternoons in the countryside, as well as serving the communities of rural eastern Ontario.
All concerts take place on Sundays at 3:00 p.m., and admission is on a "first come, first served" basis. Indoor seating is limited to about eighty, but large sliding doors open one side of the barn, and there is plenty of space on the lawn where the musicians can be clearly seen and heard.
Although no food or drinks are sold on the premises, people are welcome to bring picnics. After each performance, lemonade and cookies are offered to all, along with an opportunity to mingle with the artists.
Ticket prices are $20 for adults, and $10.00 for students and seniors. Children under 12 are admitted free.
