Annual PEEL MUSIC FESTIVAL 2012


logo_pmf.gif (5298 bytes)Peel Music Festival was started in 1927 by W.E. Capps, a Brampton schoolteacher who wanted to create a competitive venue for school choirs. Today, over 80 years later, PMF has grown into being one of Canada's largest music festivals. Faithful to its origin, PMF continues to have a section for school choirs and ensembles. But it has also become much more, even pushing out of the boundaries of music and into related art forms. Besides offering competitive adjudication of the highest professional standard to young performers playing a wide variety of instruments – brass, woodwinds, strings, classical guitar, and piano – PMF also includes classes for ensembles, and for performers in related art forms such as vocal, musical theatre and speech arts. Peel Music Festival is a not-for-profit organization, run by a group of dedicated, volunteer music teachers.
