THE 2024 FESTIVAL IS NOW OVER!!

 This year's festival was very successful with over 1300 school-age students performing in over 150 classes across more than 29 different categories, covering all ages from 4 to 19 (with a few older adults too!!).

The Young Musician of the Festival winner was flautist Alannah Saphir who was awarded the Chairman's Trophy and £250 generously donated for the purpose by the Finzi Trust (www.geraldfinzi.org). The Trust has supported the Festival over the last three years and we are very grateful for that support.

The winner of the Speech & Drama Championship was Isabella Withy. She was awarded the Festival Speech & Drama Trophy and £250 funded by the Festival itself.

Planning for 2025 has already begun. Congratulations to everyone who took part this year and a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers and donors who generously give of their time and money to keep this very valuable local festival going. It wouldn't happen without you.

We always need more volunteers and donors. Please contact me for more details.
