You are currently viewing our IN PERSON event page!

Our 2025 festival is taking place in two ways online & person.

The full syllabus is the same apart from set pieces in each genre where there will be separate choices for online and in person.

This aims to give you the choice to perform live on Festival Day with different pieces and still enter the Online Festival for extra feedback if you wish! Or you can make your choice dependant on your circumstances.
