SUMMARY:Songfest 2023 - An all-day vocal festival for all ages!
DESCRIPTION:Our annual all-day celebration of the art of singing! Adjudicated performances with classes for all ages and stages and in many different genres\, with scholarship prizes for achievement in your art. \nSaturday May 6 at Spirit of Life Lutheran Church\, Vancouver \nEverything you need to know to participate in Songfest 2023 is posted below. \nLinks to the registration page and a downloadable syllabus are at the bottom of this page. \nSONGFEST 2023 \nSponsored by NATS – Vancouver Chapter  \n  \nRULES AND REGULATIONS  \nWelcome to Songfest 2023!! NATS Vancouver acknowledges that we sing on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations where they sang and danced and held ceremony for generations. We thank them for their stewardship of these lands over the millennia. \n  \nNATS Vancouver Songfest celebrates the power of song and the joy of sharing our songs and voices with others. We are therefore fully committed to creating a space where everyone is heard and valued regardless of race\, gender\, age\, sexual orientation\, or ability. \nA) Please review the following rules and regulations carefully. \nB) Each class has a total time limit. Your timing starts from the beginning of your introduction. If the adjudicator asks you to wait for a moment between selections\, this time will not count towards your total time limit. \nC) All teachers\, be they NATS members or not\, are welcome to enter students into NATS Vancouver Songfest. Any NATS teacher entering students must be available to assist with the operation of Songfest upon request. Tasks required include greeting\, copy-checking\, adjudication\, adjudicator assistance\, technical assistance\, organization\, and other tasks that may arise. NATS teachers unable to volunteer their time will be asked to contribute a minimum of $30 to the scholarship fund. \nD) Karen Lee Morlang and Maria Jung are our Songfest pianists\, and we encourage you to engage them. You are responsible for paying their rehearsal and performance fees. The Pianists must receive your music (in the correct key\, correct edition\, etc) by April 22\, 2023. Failure to meet this deadline may result in your having to find another pianist. Electronic tracks are not permitted for live performance. \n  \nE) All singers in Songfest will provide ONE original copy of their music to the adjudicator\, and ONE to their pianist.Photocopied music will not be permitted. Failure to comply with copyright rules will disqualify a participant from competition. Please note the following exceptions: \na.Out of print music or unpublished music: Written notice of permission to copy from the publisher or composer must be provided at the time of performance. \nb.Downloaded sheet music from internet sources will only be permissible when accompanied by a receipt indicating proof of purchase or proof of public domain status. Music downloaded from imslp.org is permitted. Please include the full URL of the work being performed on the first page of all parts and copies being used. \nc. An accompanist must clearly display the original score on the piano if using a copy to facilitate page turns. Failure to do so will disqualify a participant from competition. Music downloaded from imslp.org is permitted. Please include the full URL of the work being performed on the first page of all parts and copies being used. \nF) In most classes\, participants are asked to present selections that show contrast. Note: This is not optional. Contrast can be achieved through genre\, style\, language\, era\, or tonality. If in doubt\, please contact the festival coordinators. Participants are asked to sing one\, two\, or three selections as outlined in each class description. Those that choose to perform fewer than the maximum song requirement will not be eligible for scholarships awarded in that class. \nG) The Variety Classes are designed for students who are newer to voice study and/or competition. We ask seasoned performers\, and students who have entered the Vocal Variety class in previous Songfests not to enter this class. Students who are entered in this category who are not new to voice study and competing\, or who have entered this class in previous Songfests will be redirected to another class. \nH) All registrations are final.
