CDMF - Celebrating Sixty Years

Brandon and Angela started the evening's program with the Czardas Rhapsody by Scher. Performed at the Terry Fox Theatre Sep 2012. The CDMF was started in 1953 on the suggestion of Beryl MacLeod (Founder). At that time the students were participating in the Kiwanis Festival in Vancouver. The parents, children and teachers were weary of driving or taking the train all the way into the city and back, often returning late at night. Beryl suggested, "Let's put Port Coquitlam on the map and start our own festival". Beryl was a music teacher (piano and vocal) who ran a small music store, first on Kingsway in Port Coquitlam and then in a bigger premises on Shaughnessy Street near the old Batty Shoe Store (which in those days was a grocery store). Velma Manion was one of five music teachers who worked in Beryl's store selling sheet music and other musical items. They, along with several other enthusiastic volunteers, organized the very first CDMF festival. And now, 60 years later they are celebrating with a fantastic line up of performers from past and present.
