District Festival is an annual event of back-to-back recitals running concurrently in several locales at Capital University.  Each recital features students of various levels from different teachers.  Students receive written comments from a qualified outside adjudicator and a certificate of participation.  This is a wonderful non-competitive performance opportunity for students of piano, strings, woodwinds and voice.  The recitals are free and open to the public.  Please encourage your family and friends to attend.

 All correspondence will be conducted via email.  You will receive an email with attachments to be printed by the teacher and handed out to students.  You must have a valid e-mail address on your registration cards.  You may submit your registration cards via e-mail, or by regular mail.
