Accent Performances is a premier music festival program dedicated to providing student ensembles - bands, orchestras, and choirs - with meaningful opportunities to perform, learn, and grow. Our festivals are hosted at outstanding venues across the country, giving young musicians a professional stage to showcase their talents in a supportive, non-competitive setting.

​

Participants can choose between two event formats:

• Adjudicated Events – Ensembles perform for expert adjudicators who provide detailed feedback and ratings, fostering growth without the pressure of competition.

• Clinic Events – Available at most venues, ensembles work directly with a skilled clinician who offers personalized coaching and feedback in an interactive, educational session.

 

Each event is designed to be seamless, enriching, and tailored to the unique goals of every group.

 

The experience extends beyond the stage. Festivals culminate with participants attending a professional performance at a local venue - such as a Broadway show, a symphony orchestra concert, or another world-class production - depending on the location.

 

At Accent Performances, we are passionate about inspiring the next generation of musicians and making every note count.
