On March 5, 2026, in Toronto SING! The Toronto Vocal Arts Festival was again awarded Top 100 Festival designation from Festivals and Events Ontario (FEO), with SING! Founding Board Member Patti Jannetta inducted into the FEO Hall of Fame.   This is the 12th consecutive year of top honours for Canada’s premier a cappella festival, and the second member of the SING! leadership to be inducted into the FEO Hall of Fame.  

“We are thrilled to be recognized by our industry for excellence in programming and community impact,’ said SING! Co-Manager Patricia Silver. “It takes a team to reach these milestones. We are grateful for the support of our sponsors, government funders, generous donors, and media partners. Our hundreds of volunteers dedicate thousands of hours to bring the best in a cappella to audiences. Our clinicians continue to mentor and inspire emerging artists. Together we are making a difference in the music world in Canada and in the people who are touched by the brilliant performances and eye-opening workshops.

"We look forward to welcoming everyone to our festival in May!"

 “It’s an incredible honour to be inducted into the Festivals & Events Ontario Hall of Fame and recognized among peers, including many I’ve known for over 25 years,” said Jannetta. “As a singer, I found my way into the events industry, helping to create non-profit festivals and events that enrich the arts community and share music, heritage, and culture with thousands of visitors. I am deeply grateful to have worked with dedicated, passionate teams who bring festivals and fresh ideas to life.”
