Home of the Barrie Kiwanis Music Festival and Youth Talent Search Competition, Barrie, the Barrie Music Festival Association is comprised of a group of interested volunteers who dedicate their efforts to promoting performance opportunities for young musicians. We believe that Music Festivals provide a unique experience for competitors. Preparing for performances over several months, and then actually performing in public, teach competitors skills that will last a lifetime. And our young musicians not only get the chance to hear each other's performances, but they also receive adjudications and workshops from some of Canada's top musicians. Whether or not they continue into careers in the performing arts, for most competitors this will be the first step in what will become a lifelong support of the arts in their communities. The Barrie Music Festival Association is grateful for donations in any amount. Please help us keep the music alive! Thank you.
