MESSAGE FROM THE AMAF PRESIDENT
The successful completion of the Associated Manitoba Arts Festivals Provincial
Finals marks the end of another festival season for most everyone in our province.
On behalf of the AMAF board I would again like to thank everyone who was involved
in some way to make the Provincial Finals such a great weekend. Thanks to all
of the volunteers who stepped up and were willing to tackle anything they were
needed to do. We are especially grateful to the volunteers of the Winnipeg Music
Festival who came in on the Saturday of the Finals to free the AMAF board to
have a meeting in the morning and also give the board members the opportunity
to attend the speech arts workshop in the afternoon. And then this event wouldn’t
happen at all with out the long hours of preparation and organization of Somer
Kenny
and
Joanne
Mercier
in
the
AMAF
office,
assisted
by
Andrew
Rampton
of
the
Winnipeg
Music
Festival
office.
Not
only
did
they
put
in
many
hours
before
and
after the Provincial Finals weekend, but were around all weekend to answer questions, give assistance where
ever
needed
and
keep
the
event
flowing
smoothly.
Thank-­you!
I
congratulate
all
of
the
performers
who
achieved
a
first
or
second
place
standing
but
more
importantly,
I
trust
that everyone who performed at the Provincial Finals came away with more knowledge about their craft and
themselves then when they went in. The purpose of the Provincial Finals is not only to showcase some of the
finest
young
talent
in
our
province
but
also
to
provide
another
valuable
learning
experience
for
them.
Congratulations to the musicians that will represent Manitoba at the National Music Festival in Saskatoon
August
13
–
15,
2009.
As
always,
we
are
confident
that
they
will
make
a
good
showing
and
do
our
province
proud!
I wish all of you a wonderful, relaxing summer and then an exciting fall season as we gear up to make each of
our local festivals better then ever!
Cyndy Warkentin
AMAF President

ADVERTISING
Advertising space is available in Focus

Program.
Contact
the
AMAF

8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
AMAF would ask that anyone planning to
visit
the
office,
call
or
email
ahead
to
confirm
that someone will be there to meet you. As
there is only one staff person and there are
times when she needs to leave the building
to conduct business, it is important to make
arrangements in advance.
We also request that if you are planning to
pick
up
supplies
that
you
inform
the
office
of
what you need several days in advance. In
order to be cost effective some materials are
produced on an “as needed” basis and we
would hate for anyone to be disappointed
when they arrive.

SPEECH ARTS & MUSIC COMPOSITION WORKSHOPS
AMAF offered two workshops in conjunction with this year’s Provincial
Music and Speech Arts Finals. The Speech Arts Workshop was open to
all interested individuals. It not only provided students with an opportunity
to work with Jennifer Orr, a speech arts specialist from Mount Royal
College in Calgary, but it was also provided information and guidance
to parents, teachers and festival organizers so that they may be better
equipped to promote speech arts in their communities and support/coach
the students who are involved. A total of fourteen individuals registered
for the workshop. It was also attended by several members of the AMAF
board of directors.
The second workshop was for students interested in music composition.
Three students registered and brought with them one or more compositions
in progress. Each participant performed their work(s) and the workshop
facilitator, Manitoba Composers, Maryanne Rumancik led the group in a
discussion of each piece and explored ways of strengthening them. The
students were given some instruction on how and where to begin when
trying to put a musical idea down on paper and properly notate their work.
The group also reviewed a number of sample pieces and discussed the
strengths and weaknesses of each as well as ways in which they could be
further developed. At the participants’ request, there was also a discussion
on the use of technology, i.e. music notation software.

Workshop Facilitator
Both of these workshops were very successful. AMAF plans to continue
offering similar workshops annually.
