Hundreds of Canadian and international musicians have performed at the Festival over 28 seasons. The FOTS has an education mandate, offering master classes for developing musicians, open rehearsals, workshops for local children and lectures by musicians and composers, all designed to improve the musical understanding and appreciation of audience members. This element of the Festival was taken to a new level in 2001 with the Music From the Inside Out series. Family concerts on Saturdays introduce young audience members to the joys of making and hearing music.
