Welcome to the Ottawa Valley Music Festival website. Use this site to find out all about the OVMF - an annual series of choral music concerts which takes place from April to September throughout the Ottawa Valley featuring the Festival Chorus supported by a professional orchestra and soloists.

In addition to the annual Concert Series, the Festival Chorus presents special concerts at various times throughout the year, including outreach, arts festivals and performances at fundraising events for other not-for-profit organisations.

Mervin Fick is the Artistic Director of the Ottawa Valley Music Festival Concert Series and the Director of the Festival Chorus. As founding director in 1993, Mervin started with a dream of making classical musicof the finest quality accessible to all in the Ottawa Valley and beyond; this dream has become reality as the OVMF Concert experience is truly a joyous celebration of the coming together of beautiful music and an appreciative audience.

The OVMF also assists promising young musicians by providing opportunities to perform in professional settings, as well as by providing scholarships to students in the Ottawa Valley wishing to pursue a career in music.

We invite you to take a weekend drive into the Ottawa valley and experience all it has to offer - Quiet country escapes, exciting family adventures, shopping in quaint villages, and best of all - the finest choral music in Eastern Ontario
