The Vancouver/Burnaby Branch held our second annual Canada Music Week Festival to celebrate Canada Music Week 2019. The event featured music composed or arranged by Canadian composers and was open to all instruments and was once again hosted by the Canadian Music Centre in their downtown Vancouver. Sixty-two piano students and one saxophonist from the Prep to post ARCT level performed for our adjudicator Dr. Sandra Joy Friesen of Calgary, Alberta. Students received certificates as well as adjudications and scholarships were presented to the top performers in each division. This year we were fortunate to have two teachers whose generous donations allowed us to also award cash prizes to the first place winners in each level.
