In partnership with Festival of the Sound, Xenia Concerts is proud to present our first sensory-friendly concert in Parry Sound! With the help of our community partners, we are designing a family-friendly concert especially for the neurodiversity and disability communities in the Parry Sound area. The concert will last about one hour, and includes works by Augusta Read Thomas, Mykola Lysenko, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Franz Joseph Haydn.
