December 3, 2024 | Stratford, ON – Stratford Summer Music proudly unveils TD Bank Group as its primary sponsor for the 2025-26 seasons. This agreement ensures world-class musicians and programs remain a vibrant part of Stratford’s cultural and artistic landscape. 

It’s welcome news for music fans and the whole community, just in time for Stratford Summer Music’s 25th anniversary in 2025. Since its debut, the festival has grown into a premiere regional attraction for quality music programs, ranging from classical to contemporary. It also provides a considerable economic boost for local tourism and businesses. 

“Our partnership with TD for not just one, but two upcoming seasons, is pivotal for the ongoing growth of our organization,” said Crystal L. Spicer, Executive Director of Stratford Summer Music. “It means we can attract top-tier Canadian and world musicians like never before–just in time for our anniversary. Thanks to TD, next year promises to be remarkable and I can’t wait to share our program soon.” 

TD Bank’s sponsorship of Summer Music’s next two seasons not only signals commitment to the festival itself, but also to supporting accessible, diverse arts and culture programming. TD's support ensures music lovers in Stratford and beyond have attainable ways to savour the highest levels of music in their own community, from free shoreside concerts on the MusicBarge, to opportunities for students. TD and the festival want more people to share the joy and connection that enriches us all when we experience live music. 

"Stratford is known across the country and around the globe as a community that loves and celebrates the arts," says TD Branch Manager Caroline Kania." We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of Stratford Summer Music, a vital part of Stratford's vibrant arts scene that is so important to Stratford residents and visitors alike." 

With a milestone anniversary ahead, the festival’s organizers are working on fresh developments and program lineups to delight fans and streamline ticket sales. Patrons should watch for updates in coming weeks. Tickets for the 2025 season are expected to go on sale in time for holiday gift-giving.
