Scotia Festival of Music owes its existence to Chris Wilcox (1941–2023), its founder, and Artistic Director for nearly forty years. This afternoon, we honour Chris’s life and legacy with some of his favourite music. Join us at this special free event, in person or live online, for an afternoon of performance, art, reminiscence, and celebration.
