Hamilton-Halton ORMTA Branch Competition
leading to the
Provincial ORMTA Competition
Date: Saturday 6th March 2027
Where: Port Nelson United Church
3132 South Drive Burlington
The Hamilton-Halton branch of ORMTA is holding the competition that leads to the Provincial semi-finals and finals on Saturday, March 6, 2027 at Port Nelson United Church, 3132 South Drive, Burlington. The new rules for the Level 8 and 9, Piano, Strings and Voice as well as the Level 10 and Associate, Piano, Strings and Voice are listed on the Provincial website. All teachers should read these rules carefully, because there are changes to the format and the requirements every year. This year, the Branch Competition will be live. Any students chosen to move on will have to comply with the video requirements for the semi-finals level. All these requirements are listed in the rules for each category.
It should be noted that this year, if there are more than 5 competitors entered in a specific category, the branch may choose 2 students to go to the next level. If there are more than 10 students entered in one category, we may send 3 students. There is also the suggestion that branches may join forces to have one larger competition. Since the new regulations have come out so late this year, this is not possible, but it may be something to consider in the future.
This year, this competition will be held in an audition format rather than as a public recital. The adjudicator(s) will choose the students who will go on to the next level. All students will be notified of their standing and all students will receive adjudications, which will be delivered to them after the competition.
