FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CLASSICAL UNBOUND FESTIVAL
JULY 26-28, 2019
Prince Edward County, Ontario
Unbinding classical chamber music from its formal attire,
and binding it more closely to our hearts and souls.
Something’s happening this summer on the shores of Lake Ontario, on that enticing
acreage of sun and lake-kissed land called Prince Edward County… something besides
blooming wildflowers and rosy sunsets; besides the wind in the dunes and cruising the
country roads between wineries with the windows down. It’s a chamber music festival
nestled amongst all of that: Classical Unbound.
One of Canada’s premier ensembles, Ironwood Quartet, is running the show this year. Its
members, Jessica Linnebach, Carissa Klopoushak, Julia MacLaine, and David Marks, are
musicians with the National Arts Centre Orchestra who love escaping Ottawa and putting
their hearts on the line for other musical ventures. They’ve been performing together as
the Ironwood Quartet for nearly 5 years, receiving critical acclaim for their take on
repertoire ranging from Haydn and Beethoven to avant-garde new music and originals.
This year they’ve devised a bewitching mix of gorgeous string quartet music divided over
three evenings.
Want to raise a glass of wine and be transported across the centuries? Choose a concert at
one of the two award-winning wineries hosting Ironwood. Or go help raise the roof at the
historic Old Church Theatre, joining for a genre-bending evening filled with singing,
stomping, and wild solos!
