Performers needed for summertime Bell Park concert series

Local musicians looking for an opportunity to perform outdoors this summer can apply for a spot in Greater Sudbury's annual Bell Park Concert Series.

The series runs from June to August, with concerts each Sunday evening from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. A news release from the city says performers who meet certain criteria are eligible, but they must apply by April 4 at 4:30 p.m. The criteria includes:

-- Entertainment is appropriate for all ages;
-- Entertainment demonstrates collaboration among artists;
-- Performances have minimal logistical requirements, ensuring the concerts remain free for the community;
-- Entertainers represent the diversity and culture of Greater Sudbury.

Concerts will held at either the William Bell Gazebo, the Katherine Bell Gazebo or the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre.

“The venue selection is determined by the city based on criteria including size of performing group, expected attendance, technical requirements and the availability of locations,” the release said.

Performers will receive a small honorarium.
