SchützFest350 - A festival to mark the 350th anniversary of German Baroque composer Heinrich Schütz’s death.

SchützFest350 presents the music of Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) over two weekends in the Ontario cities of Hanover, Dundas, Waterloo and Toronto as interpreted by local Canadian musicians. Performers include Jonathon Adams, the first Indigenous artist-in-residence at the U of T Faculty of Music; the Nota Bene Players and Singers; the U of T Theatre of Early Music and the U of T Schola Cantorum; the Gallery Players of Niagara; and the Toronto Chamber Choir.
