Youth Music Festival 2026

This year the Youth Music Festival will be held at Samuel Marsden Collegiate in the Auditorium with adjudicator Ingrid Culliford.

This means we only have one piano, so the event will be scaled back for now. We will hold Classes 1-4 over the weekend of June 26-28, and we will expand the weekend of the Recital competition to two days, so that we can add Class 5 to that on Aug 1-2.

There will unfortunately be no capacity for ensembles or the Bach class this year.

Please find a letter with initial information YMF first letter to teachers 2026. This letter contains important information about classes and conditions of entry.
