TESTIMONIAL
"The Contemporary Showcase Festival has become a focal point of the year in my studio. My students and I appreciate the opportunity to explore the many fresh, creative and accessible violin pieces that can be found in the Canadian repertoire at every grade level. Students have benefited from the excellent feedback from adjudicators, and they like the non-competitive, workshop-style format as well as the performance opportunities that the Festival provides. The Contemporary Showcase Festival has helped foster an awareness and appreciation of contemporary Canadian music in my students."
