Message from the President
Dear teachers, parents, students and friends of Musicfest Northwest:
As we enter the new 2021 festival season, the Board of Trustees sends their heartfelt hello’s and best wishes to all of you. We missed seeing you for the 2020 festival and hope that you are managing well in these difficult times that have affected us all.
As president of Musicfest Northwest, I wish to assure everyone that we are moving forward preparing for a robust 2021 festival season this coming May 2021. We don’t know what this coming spring will bring us but unless we are told otherwise, you can count on the Musicfest Festival taking place and that will include both the Young Artist and the Adjudicators Choice concerts.
We can assure you that Musicfest Northwest will take ALL PRECAUTIONS necessary as determined by the state and federal authorities along with common sense regarding cleanliness and sanitizing to make sure that all students, teachers, parents and guests of Musicfest Northwest are as safe and protected as much as possible. This will include, if required, restrictions on the number of people in a class room at any given time including playoffs etc. If we find that we are limited on the number of people allowed in the concert theater, we are looking into live streaming the concerts.
We understand the importance Musicfest Festival has for so many students, their parents and the music teachers. We have a long and honorable tradition of bringing together the most talented students and teachers in in the Pacific Northwest and other regions too. I and the Board of Trustees are committed to continuing this wonderful tradition. We will work tirelessly to make sure that this is the very best festival year for all of the hardworking and dedicated students, teachers, parents, guests and our esteemed visiting adjudicators.
We wish you all the very best fall and winter season and certainly look forward to seeing all of you this spring.
Warmest regards,
James Ennis
