Your ensemble will have a fantastic experience at Atlantic Canada’s premier music festival!
We can’t wait to welcome you and your ensemble to the beautiful Mount Saint Vincent University campus in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The festival runs from April 24 to 26, 2024.
An incredible learning opportunity
We’ve started unveiling our adjudicator lineup for 2024.
THANK YOU RON AND MIKE!
The Nova Scotia Band Association is excited to officially announce that Atlantic Festivals of Music will be owned and operated by the NSBA starting in 2024!
After many years of dedicated service Ron Murphy and Mike Morrissey have passed ownership of the festival to the NSBA. A huge thank-you to Ron and Mike for their service and for trusting the NSBA to continue their work.
The NSBA will strive to ensure that Atlantic Festivals of Music continues to be the high quality, rewarding and enriching experience that it has been for the past 30 years.
