Experience the Sounds of History
In partnership with the Town of Newmarket, Céleste Music proudly presents our inaugural
Early Keyboard Festival at the Serpa Galleries in Old Town Hall. This immersive and interactive festival transforms the gallery into a living exhibition of sound, where history comes alive through professional concerts, engaging lectures, and inspiring student performances.
At the heart of the festival are five exceptional public concerts, each thoughtfully curated to showcase Céleste Music's extraordinary collection of historical keyboard instruments. We have assembled a roster of world-renowned performers and experts in historical performance, artists whose performances reveal the original colours and sounds of our unique, stunning instruments.
We are especially thrilled to debut several newly acquired historical keyboards — presented for the very first time in North America.
Guests are invited to explore the instruments up close, connect with the artists, and immerse themselves in a vibrant celebration of art, music, and discovery!
