2025 Festival Executive and Committees

The Truro Music Festival is truly a community event. Not only does its success depend on a dedicate board of individuals that plan and work throughout the year, but it also depends on many volunteers with willing hands during the festival itself. It also depends on the generous donations from sponsors, community groups and individuals.

Volunteer!

It would be impossible to run an event of this complexity without the assistance of our many generous volunteers. Becoming a volunteer can be very rewarding - not to mention fun! Many of our volunteers have been with us for twenty years or more!

There are lots of volunteer opportunities with the Truro Music Festival. We need volunteers on each of our Festival Committees, for example, most of which begin their work well ahead of the Festival dates. The areas that require the most support, as you would expect, are related to the class sessions themselves. We are always looking for people who are willing and able to help.

If you would like to become a festival volunteer, you can download and fill out a printable Volunteer Application Form, or you can email us at info@TruroMusicFestival.ca.
