Join us for the 9th season of StirlingFest, a celebration of classical and jazz music in the beautiful setting of St. John’s Anglican Church in Stirling.

This year’s festival brings together three exciting concerts, each offering a unique musical experience.

Saturday, October 24 opens the festival with the Flannelmouth Stringband, featuring Luke Mercier, Ira Quinsey, and Teilhard Frost. Their music brings together the warmth and spontaneity of stringband traditions for an engaging and lively afternoon.

On Sunday, October 25, experience the distinctive sound of Gypsy Jazz with Club Django Toronto, bringing the energy, charm, and rhythmic character of this much-loved style of jazz to Stirling.

The festival concludes on Monday, October 26 with the Baltic Piano Trio, featuring Atis Bankas, Victoria Kogan, and Mindaugas Bačkus. Three accomplished musicians come together to explore the richness and beauty of the piano trio repertoire. The concert will be hosted by Eric Friesen, one of Canada’s most respected voices in classical music broadcasting, who will guide the audience through the program with his warmth, knowledge, and insight.

Following each performance, audience members are invited to a reception in the Hall — an opportunity to meet the musicians, share the experience with fellow music lovers, and enjoy the marvellous fare of the region, especially Hastings County.

Come and celebrate live music, talented artists, community, and the wonderful flavours of our region at StirlingFest 2026.

Three concerts. Three musical journeys. One wonderful weekend in Stirling.
