Welcome to the 2025 Festival
We are now open for entries to the 2025 Festival.
PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ENTRIES BY 31st JANUARY 2025.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Festival, you are invited to take part in a celebration piece "Jigsaw, Variations on a theme of Celebration" composed for the Festival by Alison Hedger. This will be performed at the end of the Gala Concert on Sunday 23rd March. Each section of the festival will be represented. If you would like to take part in this premiere performance, please select and enter the rehearsal of your chosen instrumental or vocal section, in the same way as you would for any other solo class. Please note that for logistical reasons we will be inviting the Junior and Adult choir participants.
[Numbers are limited by the performance space available at the Gala Concert, so we may have to operate on a first come first served basis by instrument.]
If you have requested a festival accompanist and have not yet sent us the music, please can you send it to Linda Harland, Piano Section Secretary.
We look forward to seeing you all and hope you enjoy taking part in this celebration of local music-making.
