President’s Message

President
We are pleased to announce the inaugural Airdrie Rotary Festival of Performing Arts. Airdrie is growing into a vibrant community and with many young people who are developing talents in the arts. Having a Festival in Airdrie will mean that those youth need not travel to Festivals outside of our county for an opportunity to perform.

The Festival will serve the Rocky View county area. This year we are pleased to offer sessions in piano, voice, musical theatre and choir. We anticipate adding more disciplines in coming years. Our focus will be on learning and teaching in a non-competitive environment. This first year adjudicators will not recommend to Provincials.

We feel this event will be of great benefit to Airdrie and the surrounding area as we provide an opportunity to encourage and support the developing talents in the performing arts community.

The Airdrie Rotary Festival will require many volunteers. If you would like to be involved in this exciting endeavour please contact either Bob Rodgers Email [403-948-7242] or Terry Fink Email.

Registration fees cover only 1/3 of the costs required to run the festival. Financial support from the community helps to cover remaining costs. If you wish to be a part of this new festival we would appreciate donations. Please see sponsorships for more details. Many thanks to those companies and individuals who have already contributed. A special thanks to our Festival sponsor, the Rotary Club of Airdrie.

We look forward to welcoming many performers to the Airdrie Rotary Festival of Performing Arts.
