Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy To Open Peterborough Musicfest This Canada Day

Peterborough Musicfest lifts the curtain on its 36th season on Saturday, July 1, helping thousands celebrate Canada Day by presenting fiddle music duo Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy.

MacMaster, a native of Nova Scotia, and Leahy, lead fiddler for the famed musical family from Lakefield, married in 2002 and remain Canada’s reigning couple of Celtic music. Often performing with their musical children, they have been awarded numerous honours including Juno and East Coast Music awards.

MacMaster and Leahy have recorded three albums together.

In 2015, their debut album ‘One,’ produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin, was released. The following year saw the release of ‘A Celtic Family Christmas.’ There things sat until earlier this year and the release of ‘Canvas,’ which introduced rock, pop, Latin and classical influences to their trademark Celtic sound, featuring guest support from Rhiannon Giddens, Yo-Yo Ma and Brian Finnegan.

“The fiddle was definitely common ground for us when we first got together,” reflects MacMaster, a member of the Order of Canada since 2006. “I was so in awe of Donnell’s family, of 11 siblings who could play and had a family band. And here I am now doing almost exactly the same thing. Well, kind of. This whole thing - first playing music by myself, then playing music with Donnell, then touring with Donnell and the children and all of us playing music together - has evolved in a very natural way. We feel incredibly lucky to be together as a family and to be letting our children develop their musical talent.”

“The only downside is that we can’t do all we’re asked to do and might like to do in other circumstances because we are parents first,” adds Leahy.

With Canadian jazz music great Moe Koffman headlining, Peterborough Musicfest debuted July 1, 1987 under the name Peterborough Festival of Lights with concert series founder Fred Anderson at the helm. Over the years since, artists representing practically every genre of music have headlined, bringing thousands to Peterborough’s Del Crary Park.

Peterborough Musicfest is funded by corporate sponsorships – most of those being locally owned businesses – multiple levels of government support, fundraising initiatives and private donations. As a result, Musicfest has been, and steadfastly remains, a uniquely free admission event. Dallas Green, Our Lady Peace, Serena Ryder, Gordon Lightfoot, 54-40 and Blue Rodeo are just a few of the sensational music acts that have appeared over the years.

Overseen by general manager Tracey Randall, staff and a board of directors, Peterborough Musicfest’s stated mission is to “provide diverse, affordable live music to enrich cultural and economic prosperity in our community.” In order to fulfill this mandate and keep attracting legendary musicians to our stage, Peterborough Musicfest encourages any individual or business interested in sponsoring the festival to reach out online or via phone at 705-755- 1111.

UN Peacekeepers Monument Unveiled in Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Downtown Peterborough

Roughly 250 gathered at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a new UN Peacekeepers Monument at Peterborough’s latest park on the corner of Charlotte Street and Aylmer Street on Friday morning.

Peacekeeping veterans shared brief stories during the ceremony and honoured their fallen soldiers. The national anthem and ‘God Save the Queen” was sung by Rhema Christian School students.

Recent Syrian refugees were honoured and welcomed during the event. They sang songs showing their appreciation for Canada.

The monument was created by Studio F Minus’s Brad Hindson, Mitchell Chan and Michael Simon. It was commissioned from the City in 2017 and cost roughly $100,000 to build.

The two pillars have mirrors with a blue square near the top. Hindson says the design was a metaphor and homage to the duty Peacekeepers have.

“Peacekeepers have to cross invisible borders,” he said. “The blue square turns into a dotted line and dotted lines on maps represent borders so you’re actually crossing a border as you come through.”

The monument has been with a quote from Bill Steedman, former case manager of the Peterborough Constituency Office:

“From all across Canada, they came,

From coast to coast to coast.

There was no cry for victory on their lips,

Only a prayer for peace.

They sought not to impose their way,

Only to preserve those most elusive ideals:

Peace and humanity.

Some came home broken,

Some came home not at all.

For all of those who stood their ground,

We stand for them.” - Bill Steedman

We hope the ‘Celebrate at Home’ kits deliver some Canada Day fun to families.”
