Sunshine Coast Festival of the Performing Arts Membership

Founded  in  1973,  the  volunteer-run  Sunshine  Coast Festival of the Performing Arts has grown from its initial two  days  of  sessions  to  nearly  three  weeks,  from 30 entries to over 400 in 2008!

Incorporated  as  a  non-profit  society  with  charitable status, the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Performing Arts (SCFPA)  promotes  opportunities  for  performers  of  allages to compete and receive expert adjudication.

The Festival was founded to provide the opportunity for musicians  to  receive  expert  adjudication  here  on  the Coast and to perform for appreciative audiences in our Community.  Professional adjudicators review performances  ranging  from  solos  to  community  and school  bands  and  choirs  involving  as  many  as  75 participants.
The  Society  and  its  many  contributors  help  support outstanding performers on the Coast.  With the generous support  of  community  donors,  80  scholarships,  trophies and medals are awarded annually to Festival participants.

Many  students  pursue  post-secondary  education  with financial  assistance  from  Festival  awards.    The  Festival depend on contributions and memberships to support the awards  program,  pay  adjudicators  and  rent  venues.

Community volunteers also help organize events.
The Festival has  come a long way since  the first piano classes organized  by  Aletta Gilker and Mary Brooke  to now   include   diverse   performance   disciplines.
