The Harmony Centre in Owen Sound is celebrating their tenth year with a number of special events called Ten for Ten.
A release from the Harmony Centre states that the special events will start November 5, with a pay-what-you-can concert with world-class harmonica player Carlos del Junco and the Blues Mongrels. The Harmony Centre was started in 2012 when a group of Owen Sound community members purchased the old Knox Church and repurposed it into an affordable events centre for people and organizations to rent and utilize for many different events and meetings.
“The fully accessible Lower Hall, kitchen, and washrooms have all been renovated, ready to host new events. There are new windows throughout the building and every room was recently hardwired for internet. The change to a green heating system with air conditioning started in September of this year. With money from fundraising events, donations from the community and government and private grants, over 1 million dollars in improvements will have been made by the end of 2022,” the release shared.
“Other Ten for Ten events include a Charlie Brown Christmas featuring Tyler Wagler, Thomas Hammerton and Adam Bowman in December. Earth Day next year will feature a presentation created by community Youth, lead by the Georgian Bluffs Climate Action Team, Sheatre and Grey Bruce Climate Action Network. And in June, the Festival Trio returns with an afternoon of modern chamber music. Stay tuned through Harmony Centre’s Facebook page, website (harmonycentre.ca) and future issues of their newsletter for more,” the release added.
