Following a successful first staging in June 2024, the second Notes for Nature concert will be held on Thursday, June 5th (World Environment Day) at 7pm at the Almonte Old Town Hall.

This night of beautiful earth-themed music will raise funds for the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s (MMLT) vital land conservation work.

Our headliner will be acclaimed folk singer/songwriter David Francey, a resident of Elphin, accompanied by guitarist and singer Chris Murphy from Inverary.

Francey is a four-time Juno Award winner, including for his 2024 album, The Breath Between (Traditional Roots Album of the Year).

The evening will also include an appearance by the River Resonance vocal ensemble, led by Nicola Oddy. They offer a wide range of music from interpretations of well-known and beloved classics to novel, gorgeous choral arrangements of songs rarely performed in public.

Opening will be guitarists and singers Rob Rainer and David Ramsden, pianist and singer Mary Lou Carroll, bassist and singer Doug Barr, percussionist and singer, Steve Kotze, and singer Rebecca Worden.
