The Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario (CIS Ontario) is a collegial group of 48 independent schools dedicated to providing the very best educational opportunities for today's youth. Our annual Music Festival is a remarkable opportunity for students and music educators to collaborate in a non-competitive atmosphere that fosters a high-level of musicianship and artistic expression. The choristers are selected by their school directors, and the instrumentalists participate in an audition process adjudicated by CIS music educators. The repertoire is prepared in advance, and the performance comes together over the course of rigorous rehearsal days. There is nothing better than watching as our music faculty along with 1400 of our students perform on the Roy Thomson Hall stage. Bravo!
