The Festival of Music is an annual event designed to lend opportunity especially to music students and their teachers to perform, sharing their talents with their families, friends and the community.

Although it not a competition, this program supports striving to do our best, and to enjoy and appreciate our own level of accomplishment  at any age and at any stage of learning.

Over the years the program has had the opportunity to present many artistic genres, vocals, instrumentals, dance, solos, ensembles, etc.  The number of participants on the program has been as many as 56!   Dues to the element of time, it has been the experience that approximately 30 – 35 participants is most appreciated.

The program also provides exposure for the teachers and others involved in musically affiliated endeavors in our community and surrounding area, and an opportunity to get to know each other in our mutual quest…the LOVE OF MUSIC !

The evening is enjoyed in an organized yet relaxed atmosphere with entertainment for everyone!.

This year the Festival of Music will be held on Thursday May 19th at 7:00 pm at the Strathmore Alliance Church.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!  Admission is free, with an opportunity to donate non-perishable food items to the food back or monetary donation towards a much needed “Arts Centre” in Strathmore.

Anyone wishing to be on the program please contact Kathie Zakresky 934-5477.
