Concert of Stars was held on May 24th, a wrap-up evening of the Quinte Rotary Music Festival. Chair of the Music Festival Committee, John Chisholm, noted that the festival is a combination of efforts by the Rotary Club of Belleville, the Rotary Club of Trenton plus the Belleville Sunrise Rotary Club. This year the festival was live as opposed to having virtual performances and judging for the past two years. He thanked the many special financial supporters, noting it cost between $23,000 to $27,000 to run the Music Festival. Master of Ceremonies and Rotarian, Peter Coy, a seasoned chorister, remarked that all performers and festival competitors obtain a great advantage in life by participating in this Music Festival. Many amazing performers and many thousands of dollars in awards were presented during the evening. A stunning and purely enjoyable evening was had by all.
Albert College student Dante Duffus was awarded the coveted Rose Bowl for top vocal winner, one of several awards that he won during the spring Quinte Rotary Music Festival. Shown here are Rotarian Margaret Seu, Dante and his mum, very proud indeed.
