More than 100 concertgoers took their seats for the opening night of musical bliss. Organizers said this festival has advanced the careers of more than 1,800 aspiring instrumentalists, singers, and composers. Each musician mirrors the creator of this festival, Francis Fortier, who founded this thriving non-profit nearly 50 years ago.
