IN THE NEWS: Upper Canada District School Board's Grandioso 2026 a Success
Posted on 05/07/2026
The Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) Grandioso concert returned this year, with more schools, more music and more people filling up the seats at Aultsville Theatre, on the St. Lawrence College Cornwall campus.
Now in its third year, Grandioso includes performances by high schools students from across Cornwall and SDG. The event evolved from the former Kinsmen Music Festival, which was a key date for Cornwall high school students for nearly 70 years.
Throughout the day, students took park in workshops with local musicians, musically inspired games, and performed several mass-band pieces to ensure broad participation from the 260 students involved. Students performed alongside their respective school bands, with popular hits like Madonna’s Like a Prayer, and Britney Spears’ Toxic filling up Aultsville Theatre.
