The Prince George Music Festival took place from March 1 to 14, with more than 900 participants performing in vocal, choral, piano, strings and woodwinds/brass.
Most of the performers were from Prince George and ranged in age from five to adult.
Several scholarships were awarded and the festival concluded with two concerts, the showcase recital featured fledging performers, while the gala concert featured the more advanced performers.
