1942 ~ 2017
In celebration of the Augustinian Order's 75th Anniversary at Marylake and Canada's 150th birthday, the Marylake Concert Series is presenting a Magnificat Concert on Saturday, June 3 at 7 p.m. Featured artists include the Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts Orchestra Ensemble, Coro San Marco and Alesandra Trimmeliti. Tickets are $15 and are available at Marylake.
The organ at Marylake is a unique and famed melding of two separate Aeolian-Skinner "Duo-Art" organs, both built in the same factory, in the same year. One organ came from the Seagram Estate and the other from the Eaton Estate.
Marylake's several hundred acres is a naturalist's treasure and fortuitously, the Oak Ridges Trail makes its way along a beautiful route across Marylake's expanse.

What era do you guess those concrete barbed wire posts are from? I see them in a few places in King. Never saw them in the Quebec, I find them curious.
ReplyDeleteI believe Henry Pellet Had these posts custom-made and installed to keep his private herd of elk confined to the hunting portion of his property.
DeleteAll kinds of word play on the organ. Came from Eaton Hall-organ transplant ; compiled from different organs - frankenorgan. Must say it is an impressive looking instrument , thanks for getting the photo.
