Festival of Performing Arts
Performing Arts BC, is a not-for-profit charity which acts as the umbrella organization for 34 regional performing arts festivals throughout the province. Over 32,000 young musicians, dancers and dramatic artists, ranging in age from 5 to 28, participate each year in one of these regional festivals. The festival setting gives them an opportunity to gain invaluable educational and performing experience. The Provincial Festival is the eagerly anticipated pinnacle of BC's festival circuit.
Hosted by a different regional festival each year, only the most promising young performers from each regional festival are recommended to the Provincial Festival where they compete and participate in adjudicated sessions, master classes, coaching, workshops and technique classes with some of North America's finest adjudicators.
