FVA’s well-known festival program, Solo & Ensemble, attracts over 100,000 students from every county in Florida each year. Participants often keep their medals for life and proudly display them at graduation. Through Solo & Ensemble, students learn the discipline of rehearsal, improve their musical skills, and have the opportunity to perform in front of an audience and receive feedback. Those who excel at the district level can advance to the State Solo & Ensemble Festival.
Each year, over 32,000 students (in 11,000+ events) qualify at district festivals to perform at the State Solo & Ensemble festival, making it one of the nation’s largest events of its kind. They represent the talent and high-quality music programs in Florida’s schools.
