About Our Foundation
A registered Canadian Charity founded in 1987, the Ardeleana Chamber Music Society has been promoting creativity within communities for over thirty years, actively seeking to develop and engage a community of artists, musicians, poets, and creative souls of all types. Operating out of Parry Sound, Ontario, the Whispering River Orchestra and the Riversongs Festival Choir have emerged under the auspice of the Ardeleana Chamber Music Society, and along with the numerous creativity-evoking community programs that the society hosts throughout the year have unified under the title of Whispering River Music.
