Welcome
The 2026 festival will take place from April 6 to May 1, 2026, and we’re excited to share that the syllabus features numerous updates.
Registration will open January 1, 2026.
New for 2026: Some disciplines will now include designated Provincial Qualifier classes. Please note that in order to be considered for a recommendation to the provincial level for solo classes, participants must register in the appropriate Provincial Qualifier class.
Also new in 2026: Through our collaboration with Sinfonia Ancaster, we are pleased to introduce a special performance opportunity for advanced amateur musicians. Additional information can be found under Sinfonia Ancaster Performance Opportunity in the syllabus.
Hoodies Available
Thank you to all who have purchased a hoodie! Sales are now closed.
All hoodies will be available for pick-up at the first performance venue during festival weeks. If the hoodie is for someone not participating, special arrangements can be made.
