The Registration platform will be different - but we're here to help!

Our 2023 Syllabus is on our website and you may have noticed that our Class Codes have completely changed. That’s because we’re switching over to Music Festival Suite. Click here to download a how-to document to get you step by step through the process.The first step for everyone will be to set up a User Profile as outlined in the how-to document - everyone - student/teacher/accompanist/parent/volunteer -  will need a user profile so that we can schedule everyone efficiently and so that you can see your own schedule.

We’re very excited to offer new classes recognizing Women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ composers as well as new Canadian and First Nations repertoire in several solo disciplines that were not represented before. We added Popular Voice in 2022 and have now showcased Chinese Instruments for a few years but 2023 will be the first time we see these classes live.  We can’t wait to see what amazing performances you create with these new classes!

Dates to remember:

• November 1 2022 – registration portal opens
• December 20 2022 – solo registration deadline
• January 20 2023 – ensemble registration deadline
• February 15 2023 – Senior Scholarship application deadline

PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO REGISTER! Preparing early gives you and us time to deal with any issues that may come up during the registration process and causes less stress all around.

NEW in 2023!

We are happy to announce FREE ADMISSION for audience members for all regular SOLO classes. We hope you will bring all your friends and relatives to experience the amazing music performed at our Festival.

*Tickets will still be needed for Bands/Choirs and Orchestras classes and for all Trophy Class concerts.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

The National Capital Region Music Festival (1945) AGM will be held on November 8, 2:00pm at Ottawa Pianos (1412 Bank Street). The Annual Report and year end Financial Statements can be downloaded from the homepage on our website (www.ottawakiwanismusicfestival.com).

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We can’t hold a live Festival without Volunteers. One of the impacts of the pandemic is that many of our volunteers have retired. We need dozens of new and energetic volunteers to work in our venues at the door and/or with the adjudicators – days and evenings, weekdays and weekends. Please contact kim@okmf.ca if this interests you. You can always check out this page on our website for more information.

Do consider supporting your Festival in this truly amazing way where you get to participate right in the thick of things.
