The 2014 Rotary Burlington Music Festival

 
The 16th Rotary/ORMTA (Ontario Registered Music Teachers Association) Festival ended with a wonderful Grand Concert on Saturday evening.  We have to thank Janet Canavan as the Music Festival President and all the work done by the Rotarian and ORMTA members on the board, plus the many volunteers who made this festival possible.
 
                                   
 
Hugh Fraser was a very entertaining master-of-ceremonies at this year’s Grand Concert at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre.  The performances by some of the best students in this year’s Festival was absolutely amazing, from violins to pianos to guitars and some voice the audience was treated to a wonderful evenings performance.
 
    
 
About 600 participants performed in many different musical and spoken word competitions at five different locations in Burlington in the first two weeks of November.  The performances were adjudicated and valuable coaching was given to all students.  About 60 volunteers, mainly Rotarians from all four Burlington clubs, were involved in running the events and without them the festival would not be possible.
