UPDATE:  January 10th 2022

Syllabus has added piano study classes, and String Solo concert Group classes 

We will accept your emailed entry form and e transfers but will not deposit the e-transfer till later end of January as we see what the Peterborough Health Unit advises on holding an in person festival.  The  wish of the board is to be held in person, but if we must transition to video
could you make a note of this on your entry form that you are willing to participate or that you will NOT be wanting to participate in a video format.

E-transfers will not be cashed till end of January, giving us time to see what the situation is over the next few weeks.

 

The Peterborough Kiwanis Music Festival will hold its 75+ event will be March 28th through to April 1st, 2022.

We hope this will be an in person festival but with restrictions etc we may have a hybrid format with some live performances and others by virtual entry.  We will be making more decisions as January approaches.
