The Moose Jaw Music Festival begins April 1 and 2 with choral performances and continues with vocal, musical theatre, piano, strings and band from April 6th to 14th.
All classes have been scheduled and performers are now working to polish their performances for competition.
A choral concert will be held on Tuesday, April 2 at Zion United Church, beginning at 7 p.m. Additionally, the scholarship competition will be on Thursday, April 11 at 7 p.m. and the final awards concert will be on Sunday, April 14 at 2 p.m. Both will be held at Zion. All will provide an opportunity to hear from a range of talented musicians of all disciplines.
The generous support of sponsors to the annual Music Festival allows the provision of a number of scholarships and awards to the performers who most impress the adjudicators.
The price list to attend the Festival performances are as follows:
- Season pass (includes admission to all venues and the concert on April 14) $25
- Day pass (admission to all venues all day) $6
- Scholarship competition (includes reception afterwards, April 11) $10
- Final concert (April 14) $5
- 18 & under are FREE
- Programs $10 (available for purchase at John’s Music by the end of March)
To put on a successful Festival takes the work of a number of volunteers and the organizers are still looking for help. Volunteers are needed to help as door attendants at each of the venues and also as secretaries to assist the adjudicators. Individuals can sign up online where they will see a more detailed description of volunteer duties, or they can contact [email protected]. As a thank you, a season pass to attend the Festival will be provided.
The Festival Committee encourages everyone to come out and take in some of this year’s Festival. Events will be held at a few locations in the city and the detailed schedule can be found in the program.
The Festival is an excellent opportunity for Moose Jaw’s young musicians to build their confidence and experience, and to share their talents.
Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the Music Festival this year!
