The second annual Clash of the Chords was a huge success, bringing together local high school musicians, friends, and families, for an amazing evening of live music and community spirit.
Hosted by LCVI student Jonas Giese, the sold out event featured talented young musicians from our community competing for the title of Clash of the Chords champion. Audience members played an important role throughout the night, voting for their favourite performances and helping determine the final rankings.
Congratulations to this year’s winners:
Anthropologie – 1st Place
The Study Group – 2nd Place
The Mis-Haps – 3rd Place
The event showcased the incredible talent that exists right here in our community. For many of the performers, Clash of the Chords provided an opportunity to gain valuable experience performing in front of a live audience. It also gave fellow students and community members a chance to discover and support local talent.
Beyond the competition itself, events like Clash of the Chords help build community by bringing people together around a shared experience. Whether attendees came to support a friend, discover a new favourite band, or simply enjoy a night of live music, the event created a welcoming space where people could connect and celebrate local youth.
We are incredibly grateful to Jonas Giese for organizing this event and for using his passion for music to make a positive impact in our community. Clash of the Chords is a wonderful example of how people can bring the community together in ways that are fun, engaging, and meaningful while also raising funds that give back locally.
Proceeds from the sold out event were donated to United Way Haliburton Kawartha Lakes, helping support programs and initiatives that strengthen our communities.
Have an idea for a fundraiser? Whether you’re a student, community group, or local resident, we’d love to help you bring it to life while making a positive impact in our community.
