The 22nd Annual Sonatina Festival aims to raise awareness, appreciation, and understanding of the Sonata and Sonatina musical forms. As many music auditions and competitions are held in the spring, this festival encourages musical preparation during the fall semester by providing a performance goal for musicians of all ages and levels. We hope you’ll participate in this exciting music-making event!
Complete 2022 registration information will be posted in August. Please check back then!

COVID Protocols for the 2021 Festival: We anticipate lots of changes will happen between now and the end of October, and we will continue to monitor recommendations from the CDC and Dane County Public Health. If you have concerns about in-person auditions, we do have the non-competitive online option this year, but you wouldn’t have to make a call on that (in person or online) until we get closer to the entry deadline. We hope we don’t have to completely go online again this year, but we are prepared to do that if absolutely necessary. Both the county and the facility have a mask requirement for anyone who enters the building that day. We will also follow other typical health guidelines for COVID in the interest of everyone’s safety.
