Sleepers, Wake! | Town Hall, Bayfield, ON
An entertainment for the dawning of day, of life and of the season of summer

date: June 5, 2010

With our four young performers, we opened the fourth annual Bayfield Festival of Song with a “Coffee Concert”.  Songs and piano music for the beginning of the day were very varied and included obvious items (like Oh! what a beautiful mornin’) and some less well-known, like Gerald Finzi’s evocation of the wonder of a child, The Salutation.
