CNCM is pleased to announce our upcoming 14th Northern Lights Christmas Festival, a non-competitive festival celebrating traditional and popular Christmas music. Teachers are invited to attend a noon luncheon at the festival venue but MUST pre-register with student applications.

Here are a few of the advantages of performing in a Festival:

Preparation and memorization of works ensures a polished performance
Performance before an audience boosts self-confidence and poise
Horizons are broadened by hearing other interpretations of the same piece
Benefits of expert critiques from an unbiased adjudicator
Recognition of the talent of others develops a sporting instinct, and helps to foster a sense of fair play
Incentive and encouragement for small ensemble groups
Consciousness of the Arts is raised within the wider community

Sponsored by Mount Forest & District Arts Council, Northern Lights Canadian National Conservatory of Music and Mount Forest's Lions Club
