Alberta Vocal Festival

Alberta Vocal Festival is the province's newest festival for vocal ensembles! The festival has been developed for groups focusing on the performance of music outside the traditional choral repertoire including (but not limited to) jazz ensembles, barbershop choruses, a cappella groups, show choirs, and world music ensembles. The festival is non-competitive, but a series of awards based on a range of criteria will be presented.
