 Early Music PrizesEach year the Festival sponsors four Early Music Prizes at the New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music. Four young performers competing in the intermediate and senior festivals who live and attend school in the Greater Saint John area each receive a $100 prize for the best performance of a work by a composer born between 1500 and 1760 in vocal, string, wind and keyboard categories. Prize winners are also invited to perform in the annual Young Musicians Concert held in June. 2019 Early Music Prize Winners:
