Our 2024 Festival was an outstanding success, with a record number of entries, particularly reflecting a surge in age and grade class entries.
Some of these youngsters are astonishingly good technical and musical players already, reflecting the efforts of the amazing teachers that we have locally.
All performers learn such a lot at our Festival, not only from their own performances but by listening to the performances and adjudications of other players.
Next year's Festival will be on 12 & 13 October. We will release the syllabus and open for entries in early March 2024, so please do check back then.
As always, we expect to close classes before the official closure date as we are always full, so please don't wait too long if you wish to enter.
