Scope and content

Series consists of programs, notes, correspondence, and John Beckwith's arrangements for the summer concert series "Music at Sharon." Lawrence Cherney founded the series in 1981 and Beckwith researched and made arrangements for the heritage program included each year. The concert series was held at the Temple of the Children of Peace in Sharon, Ontario and ran until 1990, sponsored by the York Pioneer and Historical Society. The 1991 series was held at the Sharon-Hope United Church in Newmarket, Ontario, sponsored by the Musical Heritage Society of Sharon.

Series also includes materials for a related production, "Musical Toronto: A Concert Party," which was part of the Toronto International Festival. The concert, also researched and arranged by John Beckwith, reused many of the arrangements that Beckwith created for Music at Sharon and featured many of the same musicians.
