We are well into the planning of the 2011 season of our Festival in beautiful Ajijic, Mexico!

The main concert dates are now set and are shown on the right hand sidebar of this page. —>

The balance of the pages on the site at this time refer to the 2010 season just past. We have left them posted for the time being for your interest and information; in due course we will update them with 2011 season information.

In March 2010 we had an exciting line-up of concerts, and were thrilled to have had some of the finest talent we have ever had at our Festival in for an exciting ten-day musical journey. The musicians presented their concerts with technical skill, emotion, and musical energy, which was appreciated by all.

By all reports, our audiences loved every single one of our recitals, classical orchestral concerts, jazz concerts and even a few impromptu private concerts at the homes of some of our billeting supporters!

As always we are looking at ways to expand our efforts to provide educational exposure and master classes to Mexican music students. As part of this, we are pleased to advise the Northern Lights Annual ‘Concurso de Violin’ took place in Guadalajara in February, 2010. We would like to thank long-time residents of Ajijic, Allan and Norine Rose, for their support and sponsorship of this first annual violin competition, which was a tremendous success.

I look forward to seeing you again at the 2011 Festival!

Artistic Director
