Join your HPO for the Turkstra Summer Concert Series outside and around the community!
The HPO is thrilled to announce its Summer Concert Series happening at outdoor festivals and venues around the community. This series of free performances is made possible with a generous donation from Peter and Jen Turkstra, in honour of their late parents Carl and Kate Turkstra. The series includes a full orchestra performance at Festival of Friends, the Brass Quintet outside the Burlington Public Library and the HPO strings at Supercrawl.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Turkstra’s for continuing to build on their incredible family legacy of supporting the arts in Hamilton. Carl and Kate were truly dedicated individuals who understood that a thriving arts community is an essential part of a healthy city. Thank you to Jen and Peter for keeping their parents’ legacy alive in our community.”
– Kim Varian, Executive Director Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra
