Finalists' Competition & Festival Concert

This event is open to the winners of each section provided they have been recommended by their Adjudicators. To see the qualifying classes, please see the Syllabus. The time limit is 15 minutes.

When choosing their programmes, competitors should bear in mind the option of a chance to perform with the Philharmonic at UH which may be offered as part of the Festival Prize.

The First prizewinner will receive the Sir Norman Lindop Trophy and £500; the runners-up will receive £100 each for winning their section.

The competition is followed by a short concert given by outstanding Festival participants invited to perform by the Committee, on the recommendation of the Adjudicators. Those invited to perform choose music within the limit of 5 minutes and may play pieces already performed in the Festival.

This event will take place in 2012 on Sunday 6th May. The Finalists’ Competition commences at 3.00 p.m. followed by adjudication and presentation of prizes. This is open to the public and we would encourage all entrants into the Festival to attend and give support to the Finalists.

The Festival Concert starts at about 4.45 p.m. and is always a joyful ending to the Festival.

Entrance for the Finalists’ Competition and Festival Concert is £2.00 (Adults), £1.50 (Concessions) and 50p for children.
