Help Us Shape the 2026 Festival – We Want Your Venue Suggestions!
Dear Directors,
As we begin to look ahead to the 2026 Festival season, we’re reaching out to you—our community of expert educators and leaders—for your input.
We’ll be exploring new venue options for both the Choral and Concert Band & Orchestra (CBO) Festivals, as we don't anticipate returning to Massey Theatre in 2026. (Make no mistake: we ARE still at Massey this year!) With that in mind, we would truly value your insights and suggestions.
We’re especially interested in:
Venue recommendations you think would work well for either Choral or CBO
Feedback on how far your school would reasonably be able to travel for a festival
We've put together a short Google Form to collect your thoughts. Your insights are incredibly valuable, and we’d greatly appreciate you taking a couple of minutes to contribute:
👉 Submit Venue Suggestions Here
This will only take a couple of minutes to complete, and your feedback will be incredibly helpful in ensuring we choose spaces that are both functionally suitable and accessible for the majority of participating ensembles.
It is our goal to book venues ASAP, so that we can release festival dates to you in May 2025 So while there’s no official deadline for submissions, the sooner you’re able to share your input, the more helpful it will be in shaping next year’s festivals.
Thank you so much for your continued support and involvement. We’re so grateful to collaborate with educators like you, and we’re excited to create another great festival season—together.
Warmly,
Sara Ramsay
Large Ensembles Festival Coordinator
