Accompanists

Following is a list of accompanists who have indicated they are available for the Kiwanis Music Festival.   Participants are, of course,  able to use the services of the accompanist of their choice for the Festival, even if they are not shown on this list.

Please understand that the Kiwanis Music Festival presents this list for your reference only.   You must make your own arrangements directly with any accompanist regarding suitability for your instrument/voice, and on all financial matters, including any/all rehearsals and for the final performance at the Festival.   To confirm your intent, it is entirely appropriate for the accompanist to ask for a retainer up-front, once the details are settled.  The accompanists listed are professional musicians who have agreed to help young Festival participants during this year’s Festival.  It is the responsibility of the participant to contact and contract the accompanist, to get a copy of the repertoire to him/her at the earliest date, and to make all other arrangements regarding all financial, rehearsal and performance requirements.

While we at the Kiwanis Music Festival do our best to make a list of professional collaborative musicians available to participants, we cannot take responsibility for the quality of their performances, nor for their practices, rates, availability, terms, etc.   It is up to the participant to negotiate any and all terms directly with the accompanist.

This list will be updated prior to the Festival, as new information becomes available.  Please book accompanists EARLY to finalise optimal rehearsal and performance arrangements, and make sure the festival knows who your accompanist is.

If you are an accompanist and wish to be added or removed from this list, or to correct your information, please email us – festivalcorrections@gmail.com.

If you have any questions, please contact the Festival at info@okmf.ca
