Tuckamore Festival Presents: American Brass Quintet

Since 2001, the Tuckamore Festival has presented a two-week summer music event that inspires, excites, provokes, moves, and mentors. Its extraordinary chamber music series of world-class musicians draws devoted audiences from the Province and beyond. The Tuckamore young artists program attracts talented emerging musicians and composers from across the continent to mentor with the Festival’s renowned faculty and guest artists. With numerous outreach concerts, educational and free events, the Festival also welcomes new audiences and strives to deepen their enjoyment and understanding of music.  The Festival also champions the creation of chamber music works by living composers by the commissioning and performing new works.  Tuckamore is all things chamber music!

We recently upgraded the ramp to our main doors for ease of access, but they do not have push buttons. Staff are always available to assist with the door during events; guests can knock on arrival or are welcome to contact us ahead of time to let us know about accommodations needed to help you enjoy your visit! The floor seating is all one level with a gentle downward slope leading to the front of the space, and there is one row with extra leg room that we designate as "accessible seating" because it has more room for placement of mobility aids. Please note that the balcony seating area is only accessible via staircase. There is a ramp to the washroom area, although there is a small lip at the base of the ramp and on a door leading to the washroom. All doors to access the washroom are button-operated to enter and lock the door.
