INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

77th POWELL RIVER FESTIVAL OF THE PERFORMING ARTS 2021

Amateur performers in piano, voice, strings, wind and brass instruments, speech arts, amateur choirs, bands, string and jazz ensembles, and dance are invited to perform in the Powell River Festival of the Performing Arts.

The festival is based on the fundamental idea of providing all participants with the best possible support for their artistic development. The festival is strongly committed to the philosophy that performance is a vital opportunity to learn and pursue excellence. 

In keeping with this philosophy participants will receive participation certificates only.

FESTIVAL 2021 GOING VIRTUAL

Powell River Festival of the Performing Arts will have a different look in 2021 when the 77th event will go virtual. 

Plans include having performances in James Hall at Powell River Academy of Music which will be filmed and videos sent to adjudicators. 

School entries are currently being studied to see how they can happen as they are a big part of our festival. 

Live-streaming is also being investigated.

The length of the festival will be determined by the number of entries and it will begin February 26.

Selected performances will be compiled for a Grand Concert.

Please feel free to enter the festival as you always have and we will keep you updated.
