WEYMOUTH AND DORSET MUSIC FESTIVAL 2020
Saturday 7th March
at St Aldhelm’s Church & Centre
Spa Road, Weymouth, DT3 5EW
Festival Concert on Friday 13th March at St Aldhelm’s
The 2020 Festival will again be held at St Aldhelm’s Church & Centre, just off the Dorchester Road.
The Weymouth and Dorset Music Festival is a non-competitive festival open to all musicians of all ages and abilities. Entrants have the rare opportunity to perform their music in front of an audience – many for the first time – and get feedback from a highly qualified and friendly adjudicator.
The Festival provides a whole day of music, from 9am through to 5.00pm and it would be great to have an audience for our young (and not so young) performers.
Once again we have distinguished adjudicators for the Festival. Philip Pooley will adjudicate the vocal classes and brass instrumental entries; Simon Clarkson will adjudicate the organ class, strings and instrumental ensembles; Philippa Topham will adjudicate piano and woodwind.
Please come along and support our local music-makers! Light refreshments will be available. Programmes can be ordered in advance, online, at a discount price, until 1st March – go to the “Apply Now” page for further details.
We’re running adjudicated classes for…
- Choirs & Vocal Ensembles
- Vocal Solos and Duets
- Musical Theatre
- Piano
- Strings
- Orchestras, Bands & Instrumental Groups
- Brass and Woodwind
- Composition
- Organ
