Briercrest Music Festival

Join us at Briercrest College May 27-28, 2026 for a two-day music festival, including a mini-masterclass for each group from a Briercrest professor!
Our music festival is a two-day adjudicated experience designed to inspire and develop young musicians. Bands perform on one day and choirs on the next. Each group receives dedicated performance time, expert adjudication from college faculty, and a live masterclass after their performance.
All events are hosted in our on-campus chapel, creating a professional and inspiring atmosphere. Each day concludes with awards. Bands enjoy a worship night led by Briercrest students and alumni. Choirs take part in a showcase where select pieces are shared, and all choirs unite in a final massed song. It is a meaningful festival that blends musical excellence, growth, and community.
