PRESIDENT JERRY LONSBURY’S MESSAGE
For the first time since 1980 the National Music Festival was held in the same city in two successive years. Our heartfelt thanks to the Alberta Music Festival Association and their Host Committee for its dedication in hosting in Edmonton two years in a row. This year the Committee was jointly chaired by Norma Jean Atkinson and Dianne Johnstone. With the assistance of the Federation’s Executive Director, Heather Bedford-Clooney, these three ladies ensured that we all had a fabulous time. Those present appreciated that all facilities for accommodation, meals, practice rooms and performance venues were all within very short walking distances – mostly within one or two city blocks. Each year, apart from the competitors’ performances, there seems to be one event that is memorable during the week. This year it was the ‘60’s dance after the completion of all performances. What a time we all had! The DJ was fabulous. Many arrived in appropriate costume. A portable photo booth was available to preserve the memories. Most importantly, the performers danced the night away. The dances may not have been those popular in the hippie era, but they were certainly enthusiastically performed. And, the preceeding dinner and the dance were all in the festival hotel. Congratulations for a job well done and thank you from all of us.
Thank you, Edmonton!

Founder of the Federation Designation Awarded to Dianne Johnstone
At the 2016 National Music Festival, Dianne Johnstone was awarded the honour of being named as a ‘Founder of the Federation’. This is an honour given to outstanding festival leaders who have committed themselves to the Music Festival movement in Canada. By their service to the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals and the National Music Festival, they have enriched the lives of countless young musicians.
Individuals worthy of this honour are recommended to Federation members by the Executive of the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals, and are ratified by the delegates at the Annual General meeting. Their names are forever listed annually in the Digest.
Dianne Johnstone began her involvement in the festival movement in 1987 with the Provost Music Festival. She sat on the Alberta Music Festival Board for many years and through her involvement with Alberta she became involved with the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals. It was at this time her passion grew even more for the Festival Movement in Canada and the young musicians of Canada! In 2002 she was asked to raise funds to host the National Music Festival in Lloydminster and thus began her position as Fundraiser for the National Music Festival. Over the years 2002 – 2016 she brought in over a $1,000,000. She cherished, most of all, getting to know many of the young musicians, working with donors and the friendships she built over the years.
Dianne began as Fundraiser at a time when FCMF was transitioning from corporate sponsorship and needing to find a new model of support. Her work and commitment helped shape FCMF into the organization it is today. As Dianne retires, we say a huge “Thank you!” and wish her well in the next stage of life.
Thank you, Dianne!
Gloria Nickell Receives Honorary Life Membership
The Federation of Canadian Music Festivals (FCMF) is pleased to bestow Gloria Nickell with an Honorary Life Membership. The presentation was made to Gloria in Edmonton during the 2016 National Music Festival.

Gloria is appreciated for her attention to detail, proof-reading, and record-keeping. She has also worked on the FCMF Policy and Procedures Manual Committee. She has assisted as Adjudicator Liaison for the Grand Awards, as well as the follow-up of the Grand Awards, and Choral Awards.
Congratulations, Gloria, on the receiving of this distinction. Your work for the FCMF is recognized and applauded!

The 45 Celebration - Just $45 keeps music alive!” - was a special fundraising project to recognize the 45th consecutive national Music Festival. Each of these supporters donated $45 [or a multiple of $45, shown in parenthesis]. Of the $45, $15 was directed back to their provincial or local music festival, if requested, thereby strengthening the festival movement across the country.
L’événement intitulé « Célébration 45 - Juste 45 $ maintient la musique vivante! » était un projet spécial de collecte de fonds visant à reconnaître le 45e Festival national de musique consécutif. Chacaune de ces personnes a donné 45 $ [ou un multiple de ce montant en parenthèse] et lorsque les donateurs en ont fait la demande, 15 $ de ce montant ont été remis au festival de musique provincial ou local désigné, ce qui a contribué à le mouvement des festivals de musique partout au pays.

We are thrilled that the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals accepted the bid by the Kiwanis Music Festival - National Capital Region to co-host, along with the Ontario Music Festivals Association, the National Music Festival Competition in Ottawa in August 2017.

The very best in each discipline from each province will be represented in Ottawa in 2017, culminating in a final Grand Award Competition on August 12th, where a first prize of $5,000 and second prize of $2,500 will be awarded to the top two competitors-very exciting stuff! Join us in Ottawa during the celebration of Canada’s Sesquicentennial – literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

A National movement ... The Federation of Canadian Music Festivals is a grass-roots organization that identifies, encourages and develops Canada’s young classical musicians through our ten provincial associations and our approximately 230 local festivals. All festivals are run primarily by volunteers.
As Canada celebrates its 150th birthday in 2017, the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals will also be proudly celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Centennial Festival of Music, held in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1967. This festival was a significant milestone in our national festival movement and became a model for the development of the National Music Festival that we know today.
The FCMF has had a history of cultural stewardship across Canada dating back to the days of Earl Grey and Wilfrid Laurier. Thanks to a countless number of dedicated volunteers and with an existing infrastructure of approximately 250 local festivals, 10 provincial festivals and the National Music Festival, the FCMF is well positioned to continue, indeed expand, its support of amateur music performance, education and training from the grassroots to elite levels in communities nationwide. We are very proud of the fact that local communities provide the foundation for the work of the Federation.
How you can help us continue to flourish ...Your assistance in this vital work of supporting our emerging artists would be greatly appreciated!
CANADA 150 CELEBRATIONTo help us celebrate the many young Canadian musicians we’ve encouraged over the years and to help ensure we are able to continue this important work, we are inviting you to give a gift of $150 to FCMF.In recognition of the vital role that local and provincial music festivals play in our national festival movement, we invite you to designate $50 of your $150 donation to the local or provincial music festival of your choice. Please join the celebration by participating in the Canada 150 Celebration Campaign.

2017 NATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL IN OTTAWAHosting a National Music Festival costs approximately $90,000.

You may help by sponsoring a specific discipline or event.

As Canada celebrates its 150th birthday in 2017, the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals will also be proudly celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Centennial Festival of Music, held in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1967. This festival was a significant milestone in our national festival movement and became a model for the development of the National Music Festival that we know today.
The FCMF has had a history of cultural stewardship across Canada dating back to the days of Earl Grey and Wilfrid Laurier. Thanks to a countless number of dedicated volunteers and with an existing infrastructure of approximately 250 local festivals, 10 provincial festivals and the National Music Festival, the FCMF is well positioned to continue, indeed expand, its support of amateur music performance, education and training from the grassroots to elite levels in communities nationwide. We are very proud of the fact that local communities provide the foundation for the work of the Federation.
To help us celebrate the many young Canadian musicians we’ve encouraged over the years and to help ensure we are able to continue this important work, we are inviting you to give a gift of $150 to FCMF.
In recognition of the vital role that local and provincial music festivals play in our national festival movement, we invite you to designate $50 of your $150 donation to the local or provincial music festival of your choice.
Contributions to the Canada 150 Celebration can be made: By completing on-line form and paying through PayPal or CanadaHelps at www.fcmf.org/canada-150/ By emailing form and e-transfer to [email protected] By mailing form and cheque to Leslie Walters, FCMF Treasurer, 14 Elm Avenue, Kentville, NS B4N 1Y9
Thank you for your support of Canada’s young musicians through FCMF! All donations will be recognized on the FCMF website and in all our publications.
An official receipt for Income Tax purposes will be issued for all donations. BN: 118913946RR0001

Alors que le Canada célébrera son 150e anniversaire en 2017, la Fédération canadienne des festivals de musique aura également la fierté de célébrer le 50e anniversaire du tout premier festival national, le National Centennial Festival of Music, qui pris place en 1967 à Saint-Jean, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Ce festival représentait une étape déterminante pour notre mouvement de festivals nationaux et est devenu un modèle à suivre dans la mise sur pied du Festival national de musique que nous connaissons aujourd'hui.
L'historique de gouvernance culturelle assurée par la FCFM dans l'ensemble du Canada remonte à l'époque du Comte Grey et de Wilfrid Laurier. Grâce à un nombre incalculable de bénévoles dévoués et à une infrastructure actuelle d'environ 250 festivals régionaux, 10 festivals provinciaux et du Festival national de musique, la FCFM est en mesure de poursuivre, et même d'accroître, son appui envers les avenues permettant aux musiciens amateurs de se produire, d'apprendre et d'être formés, de la base jusqu'aux niveaux élites, dans les communautés à travers la nation. Nous sommes très fiers de reconnaître que les communautés locales forment la base du travail de la Fédération.
Pour nous aider à célébrer les nombreux jeunes musiciens canadiens que nous avons encouragés au fil des ans, et pour nous assurer que nous serons en mesure de poursuivre cet important travail, nous vous invitons à faire un don de 150 $ à la FCFM.
En reconnaissance du rôle crucial que jouent les festivals régionaux et provinciaux de musique pour notre mouvement de festivals nationaux, nous vous invitons à désigner 50 $ de votre don de 150 $ au festival de musique régional ou provincial de votre choix.
