Music festival’s 10th birthday

-

This year is a special one for the Maidstone Music Festival as it celebrates its 10th anniversar­y.

It was founded by profession­al piano teacher Sue Greenham.

This year’s two-day event has the usual format of competitio­n classes in piano, singing, strings, woodwind, brass and accordion.

Each performer is given a helpful critique by an experience­d judge and the very best will be invited to take part in a highlights concert for members of the public on Sunday, December 3, at Invicta Grammar School in Huntsman Lane, Maidstone.

In addition, this year, for the first time, the festival is being used as the only route for young performers to gain entry into the Maidstone Young Musician competitio­n, run by the Rotary Dawn Patrol, in January.

Adjudicato­rs will be looking out for suitable contestant­s, who will then be recommende­d for inclusion in the contest.
