March 22 - May 1
Annual PEEL MUSIC FESTIVAL 2010
 Peel Music Festival was started in 1927 by W.E. Capps, a Brampton
schoolteacher who wanted to create a competitive venue for school choirs. Today, over 80
years later, PMF has grown into being one of Canada's largest music festivals. Faithful to
its origin, PMF continues to have a section for school choirs and ensembles. But it has
also become much more, even pushing out of the boundaries of music and into related art
forms. Besides offering competitive adjudication of the highest professional standard to
young performers playing a wide variety of instruments – brass, woodwinds, strings,
classical guitar, and piano – PMF also includes classes for ensembles, and for
performers in related art forms such as vocal, musical theatre and speech arts. Peel Music
Festival is a not-for-profit organization, run by a group of dedicated, volunteer music
teachers.
