Ontario Vocal Festival

We are proud to be hosting the Ontario Vocal Festival here at O’Neill on Monday, March 25th  and Tuesday, March 26th from 9am to 4:30pm. This is an incredibly rich learning opportunity for our students. They learn through participation with their ensembles in performance and workshops, and from listening to other ensembles perform. The festival has professional choral conductors as clinicians who bring a wealth of knowledge to our students and teachers. (Check out ontariovocalfestival.com)

Through this festival, ensembles can be invited to the national festival, Musicfest Canada!

Thank you,

The Admin Team of O’Neill CVI,
