The aims of the Festival are:

• To provide each ensemble with constructive comments from an adjudicator.
• To present each ensemble with a certificate which recognises its participation.

Participating ensembles present an appropriate program of up to three pieces, with a total performance time not exceeding 10 minutes. Pieces must be voiced in at least 3-parts. The festival is open to chamber ensembles consisting of orchestral or concert band instruments.

Directors of ensembles should make every endeavour to ensure members of their group are encouraged and given the opportunity to listen to others as part of their participation in the festival. It is expected that ensembles will not be conducted by their director.
