We're excited to be partnering with Cruickston Park as a Preferred Vendor starting this season! If you haven't checked out this beautiful venue, have a peek, it's a family-owned estate in Cambridge with beautiful grounds and gardens, historic buildings, and even some cute animals. We had fun participating in a styled shoot with them last month, keep an eye out for more photos to come! 👀

The Chamber Music Series begins this Sunday in Creemore 🎶

Three intimate concerts. One beautiful setting. And it all starts with the incredible @kestrelquartet.

If past seasons have taught us anything, it’s that these performances are special - world-class musicians, up-close acoustics and a sense of connection you just don’t get anywhere else. It’s music that fills the room and stays with you long after the final note.

🎻 2pm this Sunday, February 22 at St. John’s United Church
🎟️ Tickets available for all 3 shows — link in bio

With thanks to our event sponsor, @thebankcafecreemore ❤️

We had a great time as always performing for the lunchtime crowd at First United in Waterloo! Thanks so much for having us, and thank you to the wonderful audience of 230+ people who so enthusiastically appreciated our performance of The Four Elements by Elizabeth Raum! We have some more concerts coming up in early 2026, keep an eye out for future posts for more info!
