History
The Nova Scotia Kiwanis Music Festival Association had its genesis In 1935 when a committee of music educators, who aimed to provide young musicians with the opportunity to pursue their craft at on broader level, organized a competitive music festival in Halifax. At first the festival was primarily a project of the Kiwanis Clubs in Halifax, but later it expanded to involve thousands of participants per year, and to encompass a dozen separate venues, requiring the services of fifteen expert adjudicators. In order to organize and produce the festival and to encourage and support music performance and education in all disciplines, the Nova Scotia Kiwanis Music Festival Association was formed. It was incorporated in 2000. While the festival is its main project, the Association also offers non-competitive classes at all levels. Through its affiliation with both the Provincial and National Federations of Music Festivals, the Association offers young performers the opportunity to compete locally, provincially and nationally. For advanced participants who perform at a higher level, the Association also provides the prestigious Rose Bowl Competition.
