Skilled performers put pressure on adjudicators at local music festival
The 12th annual Drayton Kinsmen Music Festival was held at the Drayton Reformed Church on Easter Monday, April 6.
The day-long competition featured over 100 entrants competing in piano, guitar, voice and violin. There were also duet and trio performances. The quality of the musicianship made it a tough job for the adjudicators and there were some very skilled performances, organizers report.
This year’s festival featured young musicians from Drayton, Moorefield, Arthur, Mount Forest, Fergus, Palmerston and Guelph.
“With the continued support of the Drayton Kinsmen and others, hopefully the festival will keep growing for years to come,” organizers state.
The festival is held each year on Easter Monday. Next year’s festival will be on March 28.
