President’s Message Welcome to the 85th annual New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music AND Good Luck to ALL of our talented young people who will be competing in various forms and styles of music for 2021! We have a wide age range of participants from 6 years old to young adults. There will be music to satisfy all genres: Strings, Instrumentals, Piano, and, of course, Voice.

Last year the pandemic forced the first cancellation in the history of our festival. The Board of Directors decided to proceed in 2021 with a virtual festival. Our competitors have submitted recordings that will be adjudicated with feedback shared just like in the past. Certificates and Awards will be presented. The April Mills Virtual Junior Concert and the Founders’ Night Virtual Concert will also be held virtually. We are proud of this year’s Virtual Festival! It is truly wonderful that volunteers have been working tirelessly since 1936 to make our festival a positive experience for the participants, including this year’s Virtual festival. I extend my heartfelt thanks to those on the Board and all the volunteers. This would not be possible without you! We would welcome the input of new volunteers in assisting with the Festival, the coordinating of activities outside of Festival time and sharing ideas at our Annual General Meeting in the fall of 2021. I also want to take this opportunity to thank our Festival Administrator, Nadine Lane. She is an essential contributor to our organization. The challenges of the 2021 festival are a testament to her expertise and organizational skills that have helped to keep the Festival running smoothly throughout the year. The Festival relies on the expertise of our adjudicators who lend their experience and knowledge to our competitors. It is a mark of the Festival’s success that some adjudicators were prior contestants in their local festivals. Thank you in advance for your kind words that will help guide our contestants to an exciting and fulfilling future! Please enjoy reading about the accomplishments of former Festival music students, view pictures from the last years of the festive, Award information, read about Volunteering, find out who is on the Board of Directors and much, much more on our website: http://www.nbfestivalofmusic.ca/. Another option to keep you updated would be by following us on Facebook! The Festival would not be possible without the generous donations of our many wonderful sponsors. Your donations are more than the necessary monetary support. They create the environment to motivate our young people to strive for excellence though the receipt of positive, nurturing feedback. Please enjoy this year’s festival from the comfort of your own home. Sincerely, Henriette Hull, President

MARKING SYSTEM

In Music Festivals, the object is not to gain a prize or defeat a rival, but to place one another on the road to excellence. Sir H. Walford Davies. The New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music has a long-standing reputation of upholding high standards for participants. These standards are a reflection of the high quality of music education in the New Brunswick region and of the desire of students to excel at the Festival. Indeed, the fundamental desire to excel against a standard is the purest form of competition because it encourages every participant to be the best he or she can be. In order to encourage competition against a standard, the New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music uses Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit as the benchmarks for choral, band, orchestral, original competition classes and select classes at the age 6, 7 and 8 levels. The marking system and its relationship to the percentage system of marking, is as follows: Gold Distinction - 90% and over Silver Excellent - 85-89% Bronze - 80-84% Merit Satisfactory - 75-79% Participation - 74% and lower It is hoped that this marking system will continued to promote high standards by encouraging students to compete against standards of achievement. All other classes will be marked out of 100.

Donovan is also co-founder, co-artistic director of Long Reach Opera Workshop, a Toronto-based opera training program for singer-actors. In 2016, Donovan premiered his project Schubertnow: The Journey Outward, a re-visitation of Franz Schubert’s seminal song cycle Winterreise.
