The York Region Classical Music Festival

Welcome to Visual and Performing Arts Newmarket, presenters of classical music concerts for over 25 years, at both the New Roads Performing Arts Centre (formerly the Newmarket Theatre) and the Newmarket Old Town Hall. Thank you to our subscribers, donors and volunteers, and to the many people who have made it possible for it all to happen.  

In early September 2025 we are hosting the York Region Classical Music Festival which will feature 3 exciting concerts in Richmond Hill, Sharon and of course Newmarket.

Since we began planning for the 2025 York Region Classical Music Festival, the cellist in our line-up has changed. Due to an injury we were obliged to find a replacement cellist on short notice.  We now have the honour of collaborating with cellist Roman Borys, who many know from the Gryphon Trio.

The annual Young Artists’ Showcase, under the direction of Sheila Vandikas, features gifted young musicians from the region. The 2025 Young Artists' Showcase in February was a great success!
