    Welcome to Visual and Performing Arts Newmarket, presenters of classical music concerts for over 25 years, at both the New Roads Performing Arts Centre (formerly the Newmarket Theatre) and the Newmarket Old Town Hall. Thank you to our subscribers, donors and volunteers, and to the many people who have made it possible for it all to happen.  We continue to host our Young Artists Showcase, a yearly concert featuring up-and-coming young musical talent in York Region.

    In early September 2025 we look forward to hosting our first music festival which will feature 3 exciting concerts in Richmond Hill, Sharon and of course Newmarket.

    Since the year 2000, VPAN has encouraged young, gifted musicians from the region by showcasing their talents on stage. Many of our featured performers have gone on to professional careers in music.  

    The annual Young Artists’ Showcase, under the direction of Sheila Vandikas, features gifted young musicians from the region. The 2025 Young Artists' Showcase in February was a great success!
