RUMMAGE SALE at Desboro Music Hall

We are having a Rummage Sale for TWO days! Stop on by either on

Sat July 24: 8am – 3pm

Half of the proceeds will go to Desboro Music Hall.

This is our second fundraiser to make some money for the Music Hall. 2021 will be our second year without holding any concerts. We are crossing our fingers that next year, we will be able to once again have concerts inside the Hall without a limit on numbers. In the meanwhile, we have had to be a little creative in how we pay the bills. We’re lucky as we don’t have to pay rent or layoff any staff. We are looking forward to welcoming people back into the Hall, even if it’s not for a concert. So come out and Support the Desboro Music Hall on July 24 or 25.

We will be following all COVID protocols. Please wear a mask and keep 2m/6′ apart. Patrons inside will be limited.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (519) 377-2358 or email us at [email protected]

Fundraiser for CDCS with the Joy Trio @ Desboro Music Hall

Tickets

Aug 12 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Come support the Music Department at Chesley District Community School with an evening of music.

The Joy Trio

Presenting Classic Songs from

Gershwin to Patsy Cline

With Special Guests: Students from CDCS

Anika Alexander, Olivia Nagle, Grace Heard, Maisie Heard

The Joy Trio formed just over a year ago. It came together rather by a turn of events as

Mike Grace had arranged a session for Susan to learn about jazz voicings with Don

Buchanan. That plan quickly changed when Susan received an invitation to entertain at a

Christmas party. The planned session became a rehearsal instead and they have played

together as a trio ever since.

Susan Joy Dietrich is proud of her roots in the Desboro Community. Her first time on stage

may have been dancing the Irish Jig with cousins in the Desboro Hall during a Fall Fair

Variety concert. Susan enjoys children, anything music and is especially enjoying this new

venture into jazz as she learns to sing classic tunes from the Great American Songbook.

For over 40 years Don Buchanan has been a keyboardist for many groups and

vocalists in the Grey Bruce area. Through this time he has also been a part of

the music ministry at St. Mary’s church in Owen Sound and has contributed

scores and music direction to several OSLT plays and musicals. Vocal

accompaniment is Don’s favourite musical task and he is honoured to play for

Sue in The Joy Trio.

Mike Grace has been a professional musician most of his life. From

playing ranch parties and road houses in Texas to touring the world with his

trio or quartet, Mike has made performing classical and jazz music his

passion. Among Mike’s most treasured moments in education is being

named a Disney-McDonald’s Performing Arts Teacher in 1996 and being

named University of Michigan Musical Society’s Educator Of The Year.

Among the many performers Mike has had the great fortune to perform with

are Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie, Mel Torme’, Rob McConnell, Roger Williams,

Urbie Green, Billy Taylor, Clark Terry, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Henry Mancini,

Jimmy Forrest, Peter Appleyard, Randy Brecker, Rosemary Clooney, Sonny Stitt.

Proceeds will go to the Music Department at Chesley District Community School to purchase new instruments

The Music Department at CDCS has a great need for new instruments as repair costs are high and there is no room in the budget to replace instruments.
