Syllabus, Adjudicators, Dates, Locations
Following is important information regarding the 2021 Festival.
New for 2021! We are pleased to announce the addition of a World Instruments syllabus. Presently featuring a selection of classes for a variety of Chinese instruments, we hope to expand our offerings of classes for instruments from around the world in the years to come.
The 2021 Festival will be undertaken by means of video submissions.
The Festival reserves the right to make any necessary changes as warranted.
Please be sure to check for any revisions to the syllabus.
