CVS XXXth Anniversary- Canadian viola celebrationSchedule du Viola Festival Schedule What is the Canadian Viola Society?It is a society for violists and viola enthusiasts! Among our members are many well-known professional violists as well as those who play solely for their own enjoyment. It is the Canadian section of the International Viola Society (IVS). The IVS sponsors Viola Congresses in a different city each year. The next Congress will be held in Cinncinnati, Ohio, USA, June 16-20, 2010. The most recent Congress was held in Stellenbosch, South Africa (2009). Other Congresses have been held in Tempe, Arizona (2008), Adelaide, South Australia (2007), Montréal, Canada (2006), Iceland [2005], Minneapolis (2004), Kronberg, Germany (2003), Seattle, USA (2002), Wellington, New Zealand (2001), Sweden (2000), and Canada (Guelph, 1999). The Canadian Chapter serves to improve communication among violists and enthusiasts both in Canada and world-wide. A fine newsletter is produced twice each year and includes information on performances, new repertoire, pedagogy, and newly available recordings as well as forthcoming activities of the Society. Join our Facebook group if you are a member of Facebook. The newsletter deadlines are October 15 and March 31 of each year. Please send submissions to the Newsletter Editor/Webmaster by those dates.
We hope to help our chosen instrument attain its rightful recognition through an increased awareness of the heritage and literature of the viola, and a better appreciation of the viola's unique role. |
