14 thru 25 ~ 37th Annual Music Festival sponsored by the four Kiwanis Clubs of Oshawa and Whitby
Approximately 6000 participants this year will compete at nine different venues (Halls) i.e. Public Library & Churches, one in Courtice, one in Whitby and seven in Oshawa.
The Festival includes most of the Orchestral Elements, i.e. piano, strings, woodwinds, brass, timpani, as well as bands, choirs, solo voice and public speaking. It has an operating budget of $60,000.00 plus, funded by entry fees plus patronage donations from both Kiwanians and local citizens, the balance is provided by the four clubs from their Fund Raising Projects.
There are four separate playoff events during the Festival, in which the adjudicators invite participants with the highest marks to gather for a final evening of competition for the awards and prizes. These Gala Evening Concerts are all listed in the April Calendar. Come along and give these students your support, there is no charge for admission, though we will welcome your generous donation to help cover expenses.
