The Brooks Music Festival Association was founded in 1995. From the outset it has served to present an annual festival and to encourage the promotion, advancement and appreciation of the performing arts in Brooks and surrounding communities. We offer a variety of disciplines including Band, Strings, Piano, Choral Singing, Vocal Solos and ensembles, Choral and Solo Speech and Guitar.
Our Festival is non-competitive. We hire qualified adjudicators who, like guest teachers in a ‘master class’ setting, give positive feedback to the performers, and encourage them to be the best they can be. All performers are welcome, regardless of their ages and stages of expertise. The Brooks Music Festival Association is a not-for-profit organization that relies heavily on donations, grants and volunteers. All donations are greatly appreciated and any donation $20 and over will be given a tax receipt. Donations can be mailed to: Brooks Music Festival Association Box 814 Brooks, AB T1R 1B7 Donations can also be given in person at any BMFA event or concert :) If you would like to help volunteer during the festival please contact Joanne Dyck at 403-378-4934. |
