Symphony in the Barn is an eclectic performing arts venue near the town of Durham, Ontario. Set on a fullyworking, biodynamic farm, with performances held in The Barn, this venue has hosted many of Canada’s premier performers and rising stars since 1995. Michael Schmidt, farm owner and artistic director, has presented full-scale opera performances, jazz concerts, an annual film festival, native dance troupe performances, chamber and full orchestral classical performances, and more.
The Symphony in the Barn Chamber Orchestra is the resident ensemble of The Barn, which performs an annual summer gala festival and appears throughout the year in concerts in Southern Ontario. The Symphony in the Barn Chamber Orchestra is comprised of exceptional young artists who come together for a summer of inspired music making.
A typical concert at The Barn not only includes a full orchestral performance, but also is accompanied by the sounds of the birds in the rafters, a typical visit of one of the farm animals through the concert hall, a starlight reception, and farm-baked refreshments at intermission.
