Music festival struggling to return to pre-COVID numbers
Up to 50 performers are competing in 35th annual La Ronge and Area Music Festival.
“When the festival first started 30 years ago, teachers from all disciplines came together to create a really unique festival,” said organizer Tamara Putz.
“We have performances in classical piano, we have popular arranged piano, we have piano with there being a band in the background they have to play with. We have singing of all different styles from pop to classical to musical theatre and we have some violin and stuff as well.”
The festival is occurring Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Alliance Church in La Ronge. An Outstanding Performance Concert is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m.
