About Us

Home About Us

Where we’ve been – There has been a music festival in Regina for 110 years!  Shortly after the first festivals, the Regina Music Festival Association (RMFA) was formed, run by volunteers, with the objective of producing an annual festival.  Over 600 individuals participate each year, some in multiple classes and different disciplines.  In recent years there have been over a 1000 entries with participants ranging from pre-schoolers to grandparents, although the majority are from ages 8 to 20 years.

The focus of our festival is on the participant, with an objective of teaching not only musicianship but life-skills through professional adjudication and feedback on their performance(s).  The adjudicators are professional musicians drawn from all parts of North America in the areas of voice, musical theatre, piano, strings, organ, brass, woodwinds, percussion, choirs and speech arts. The Regina Music Festival runs for approximately 2 weeks in mid-April to early May. Selected winners move on to compete at the Provincial finals which are held at various locations in Saskatchewan. From there, a few of the most talented compete nationally as Saskatchewan representatives.

Not for profit, but for love of the arts – The Regina Music Festival Association is a registered charitable, volunteer organization, and as such offers the usual income tax benefits to its financial supporters. Volunteers work at the festival as secretaries to the adjudicator and as door personnel. The board is a volunteer board who willingly give of their “spare time” outside of their regular employment to organize this festival of the arts.

The Regina Music Festival Association depends heavily on the donations of various organizations with Regina, and on the generosity of people like you to maintain its unbroken record of annual Festivals.

The Festival costs approximately $80,000/year to operate. This includes the costs associated with advertising, hiring adjudicators and paying for their travel and accommodations in Regina, renting space for the competitions, renting instruments and equipment for performances, as well as printing programs and signage. We receive only about 35% of this total from entry fees paid by participants. Entry fees are kept as low as possible to ensure the Festival is accessible to all young people. The balance of the budget comes from a good-will donation at the door, program sales, advertising, grants and donations. Because grants have tended to diminish for arts organizations, donations have assumed a greater importance for the RMFA.

The RMFA is open to all interested parties and is not affiliated with any service club, corporation or any government agency. If you wish to become a member of the RMFA you only have to advise us of your interest. We would be most grateful for your assistance. If you, or someone you know, may be interested in helping with the production of the Regina Music Festival, whether through funding or the generous donation of your time, please contact us!
