MusicFest Canada is an annual national event that brings together more than 10,000 of Canada’s finest young musicians who perform for recognition as the country’s foremost musical ensembles. It is the first-ever event of its kind to provide an artistic venue for so many young people and is North America’s largest annual event dedicated to developing young musical talent. Pratik Gandhi continues to serve as Vice-Chair of the Concert Band Division, responsible for the Sightreading and Syllabus. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 festival took place in a virtual format.
