2026 PROVINCIAL MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL - jUNE 5-7 WINNIPEG

The Associated Manitoba Arts Festivals’ 2026 PROVINCIAL MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL will be held this coming weekend June 5-7 in Winnipeg at the University of Manitoba Desautels Faculty of Music.

The following schedule was prepared while referring to the MANY special requests submitted. It was impossible to accommodate all requests, however, please know that we have done our utmost best to make participation possible for everyone.

We have added ‘start’ times for each of the classes (or parts) below. Where two parts are required, we have listed the last names of individuals in each part. Additional information will be sent to your personal emails on Wednesday. This will include a map of the University campus and our event location.

Where individuals are entered in several classes that appear to be scheduled at the same time, they will be positioned so as to perform in one class and then go to the second class. Likewise, we will have made every possible effort for accompanists to move from one room to the next in time to play for their performers. No one will be penalized for any last minute changes to accommodate cancellations or other glitches.

Please email amaf@mymts.net if you have immediate concerns or questions.

We are looking forward to hearing everyone this weekend!
