27th Annual Newmarket Voice Festival SyllabusMission StatementThe Mission of the Newmarket Voice Festival is to operate an annual music festival for singers and actors, and to promote interest in the study and performance of the arts of singing and acting. The Festival seeks to foster a passion for singing and acting, and an appreciation for the innate joy and self-expression, talent, self-discipline, goal-setting and work ethic necessary to achieve a level of excellence in the arts. The Festival offers a wide variety of categories in Classical Voice, Musical Theatre, Popular Voice, Songs From The Screen and More, and Speech Arts and Drama. The Festival provides amateur singers and actors of all ages with a valuable learning experience and the opportunity to perform in public, hear and learn from others, and to be adjudicated by recognized professionals in the field of singing and acting. Each entrant receives valuable feedback on technique and performance skills from the adjudicator. There is also an opportunity to participate in a masterclass with each adjudicator. The Festival strives to create an encouraging, supportive atmosphere that will allow participants to improve their skills and develop confidence in their abilities. Each entrant receives a certificate of participation and written feedback from the adjudicator for each class entered. Adjudicators will also choose a number of performers to receive scholarships. Some performers will also have the opportunity to perform at the Concert of the Stars held a week after the festival. As a member festival of the OMFA (Ontario Music Festival Association), three performers in each category and age level are eligible to advance to the Provincial competition in June and represent the NVF. The Newmarket Voice Festival is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, including its Director and Committee. The Festival obtains its funding through entry fees and donations from local businesses and individuals who share our passion and vision. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything” - Plato Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statement:
