The festival will see hundreds of participants competing for dozens of prizes and, as always, the standard will be high.

Highlights include the Gold Medal Singing on Friday, March 23, and the fiercely competitive Piano Concerto Competition Finals on Saturday, March 17.

Another special event is scheduled for the Saturday March 10 when the festival will welcome back six past entrants who have gone on to have successful careers in performing.
