The artistic director of Music on Main David Pay previews their Big Bang Festival at The Roundhouse, Sunday, 16 February 2025, with Joseph Planta.

Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

David Pay joins me again. The artistic director of Music on Main previews their Big Bang Festival, an adventurous music event for young audiences. It’s Sunday, 16 February 2025.  That’s Family Day weekend, and it’ll be a good time to get children aged five and up to The Roundhouse, where there’ll be all sorts of free activities like face painting, origami, and a bounce house that I’ll get David to tell us about. There’ll be concerts as well, with a ticket fee of only $5. Visit www.musiconmain.ca for information on the festival which stresses the importance of music for all ages, but especially for the young people in our lives. I’ll ask David about how important music was to his own upbringing, and how running an arts organisation like Music on Main has fared as we’ve come out of the pandemic. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, David Pay; Mr. Pay, good morning.
