Musical outreach through St. John’s Arts Alliance serves the broader community with a substantial program of concerts and events. These activities include various presentations through the St. Cecilia Concert Society, including the Symphony on the Shore Series. St. John’s is the home base for Musique Royale, an early music festival which presents concerts in historic venues throughout the province. Lunenburg’s Boxwood Festival and Workshop, under Chris Norman’s artistic direction, has been a part of Musique Royale’s summer season since 2007.
