Congratulations to all of our young performers for being selected by the adjudicator at your local festival to perform at the Provincial Finals. Your hours of practice have resulted in skilled and musical performances. Congratulations also to the dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and wonderful accompanists. Bravo for taking on the extra challenges of recording for Virtual Festivals! We are grateful to the adjudicators for adapting to our new format and continuing to give positive feedback and helpful advice. We warmly thank our many donors who make the generous awards possible. We also appreciate all of the volunteers who make the Music Festivals work so well across P.E.I. The local coordinators and their committees give countless hours year-round to keep the festivals going. We especially appreciate the work of our Provincial Administrator, Lynda Sharpe, who not only organizes our Provincial Finals, but also contributes hours of her time and wisdom to represent PEI at the Federation of National Music Festivals meetings. It is through Lynda’s persistence and encouragement that the four local festivals took on the task of learning how to operate Virtual Festivals. Best wishes to our performers!
