The Forest Festival's 2008 season is once again presented by R. Murray Schafer's PATRIA MUSIC/THEATRE, and once again we offer a wide variety of artistic activities in the incomparable setting of Haliburton's wilderness forests and lakes. Our concert season has been significantly enlarged and we are proud to introduce two components that will feature annually from now on: The Tuning of the Forest (developed from Schafer's acoustic ecology research), and Wilderness Arts.
Board members of Patria Music/Theatre include:
Stuart Laughton, President
R. Murray Schafer (ex-officio)
Michael Cumberland, Vice-President/Treasurer
Nancy Redner, Secretary
