- To foster a culture of musical discovery and co-operation by running a wide variety of events within a single festival; and
-
- To encourage sharing of ideas and resources, bringing together the local musical community.
## **Review of the year**
The fifth festival was held in February 2022 and included the following events:
- Piano, Pipe Organ, Singing, Classical Guitar and Composition Competitions;
- Winners' Gala Concert, and recital by Sian Dicker & Krystal Tunnicliffe;
- Piano Masterclass with Jonty Nowell;
- Alexander Technique Workshops with Catherine Fleming;
- Advanced Guitar Award (G5) Cash Bursary Prize;

The trustees were delighted by the level of support for this fifth festival. Hundreds of children and amateur performers took part in our competitions, workshops and masterclasses, and attendees enjoyed an incredibly high standard of music-making across all ages and abilities including the grand finale of the Gala Concert featuring winners of the amateur competitions alongside emerging international artists.
