OFFICIAL SYLLABUS
Peterborough 64th Annual Kiwanis Music Festival
March 29-31, April 5-15, 2010

Message from our Chairperson

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.

-Plato

Every once in a while, it is helpful to reflect on the importance of music in our lives, especially as we prepare for the 64^th Kiwanis Music Festival. As in years past, music festivals provide opportunities for musicians to set goals, practice, perform publicly, compete, and receive professional evaluation. The life lessons learned are invaluable and hopefully, in the process of it all, they experience Plato’s vision of music.

Of course none of this would be possible without the dedication of the many teachers, students and volunteers, especially the members of the Scotts Plains Kiwanis Club, the Kiwanis Club of the Kawarthas and the Peterborough Kiwanis Club. The members of these clubs volunteer to raise funds, organize and staff the performance halls of the music festival.

As we draw closer to April, we invite you to visit our web-site for information and performance schedules for the festival which runs from April 5^th to the 16^th. As always, we encourage you to enjoy the talent firsthand by visiting one of our many performance halls or by attending the Concert of Stars, featuring some of the outstanding festival performers, on Sunday, April 18^th.

 Sincerely,

Sherry Gilroy
