To mark the beginning of the Massimadi Festival, a special cocktail will be served, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Guests can also enjoy light bites. This is the perfect opportunity to meet the festival community, discuss the program, and kick off the festivities in a warm and elegant atmosphere.
The evening will be accompanied by a performance from musicians of the Ensemble Obiora, Canada’s first classical music ensemble primarily composed of professional musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds. Their inspiring melodies and captivating repertoire will add a refined touch to the evening.
