MESSAGE FROM THE FESTIVAL COMMITTEE Welcome to the 23rd Biennial Milton Music Festival. The Milton Music Teachers’ Association is excited to present our 2016 Festival Syllabus. As Canada’s fastest growing community, Milton is also home to a dynamic and engaged arts community of which the Milton Music Festival plays an integral part. Since 1980, the Milton Music Festival has provided talented musicians of all ages an opportunity to come together to gain valuable performance experience and guidance from professional adjudicators. The 2016 Festival Syllabus includes over 50 individual classes for piano, voice, guitar, woodwinds, brass and ensembles. This year’s festival will take place over two weeks from May 2 to May 13 concluding with our Grand Festival Concert on Sunday May 15, 2016. This year we are delighted to offer online registration to our 2016 Festival participants. To register please visit www.mmta.ca. The deadline for registration is February 1, 2016. Members of the Milton Music Teachers’ Association have organized two fabulous weeks of classes to bring together students to perform for, learn from and be inspired by adjudicators and each other. We have selected adjudicators with diverse backgrounds in order to provide students with a unique festival experience. We look forward to seeing you in May 2016 for a fantastic event! Sincerely, Festival Co-ordinator
