Our goal is to provide an exceptional festival experience for

Concert and Jazz Bands, Concert and Chamber Choirs, and Orchestra.

The focus is on active learning through participation of both student and teacher while providing interaction and performances with adjudicators, clinicians and guest artists who represent the very best in music and music education.

The festivals offer limited enrolment to ensure each registrant is able to participate in every activity. All activities are included in a single fee that includes travel, hotel and festival registration.

Mark Walker Bio Photo“The Con Brio Whistler Music Festival is without a doubt one of the finest music festivals of its kind in the world, with the emphasis on MUSIC and the whole student musician that is unique and truly extraordinary.  Doug, Sue and everyone associated with Con Brio Festivals make an incalculably positive impact on thousands of young lives each year.  Con Brio is a force for all that is good and an example of what is possible when music education and student welfare is the motivating factor. Your students will leave having had a world-class experience.”
