NORTH SHORE MUSIC FESTIVAL AND WORKSHOPS
Description
The North Shore Music Festival and Workshops, begun in 1971, has evolved into a friendly local festival, offering Competitive classes in Piano, Strings and Composition and Non-competitive classes in Piano, Winds, Strings, and Vocal. Classes are kept small, and time is allowed for adjudicators to work with every entrant. Three Final Concerts are held: one for the Non-competitive section, two for Competitive Trophy winners and all three are open to the public.
Time and Place
The next festival will be held in February 2025 in Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on Gladwin Drive in North Vancouver. A syllabus and any other relevant information is available online at https://northshoremusicfestival.ca/ .
Eligibility
All festival classes are open to students of current members of the North Shore Branch of the BC Registered Music Teachers Association. This year the festival will be open also to BCRMTA teachers in good standing from other branches.
