The Festival is run by Music Education Canterbury and Christchurch Civic Music Council and is in its 8th year.

Once schools have registered they are given access to the music which will generally involve 4 to 5 individual pieces for ukuleles, recorders and marimba and a couple of massed items for all three groups of instruments.

The music caters for all levels of experience and when performed live at the festival event, is backed by a professional band.

We run workshops for teachers and have plenty of rehearsal material available.

Schools will have the opportunity to perform together in a 90-minute family-friendly concert.
