The Chipping Norton Music Festival
[98th Festival: Friday 5th March - Saturday 29th March 2010]
- is held during March each year in the Oxfordshire market town of Chipping Norton. Situated near the borders of Warwickshire and Gloucestershire, the Festival has been promoting music-making in the north-east Cotswolds since 1904. One of the oldest festivals of its kind, the Festival celebrated its centenary in 2004.
The Festival is non-competitive and adjudicated by professionals; there are classes in music and drama for all ages, individuals and groups ranging from piano, voice, and composition through to verse-speaking. While the early years concentrated on choral singing, the Festival has evolved. Recent additions include drama and verse-speaking (2000) and folk (2003), and the Hummer Prize for creative writing (2008) in memory of George Hummer.
The participatory classes are accompanied by a series of professional concerts, and the culmination of the Festival is a concert presenting the highlights where various trophies are awarded for outstanding performances from musicians and performers of all ages.
There are also two children's workshops giving hundreds of children from local primary schools the opportunity to perform.
# Events for 2010 include:
Jacqui Dankworth and Charlie Wood
# Diabolus in Musica (early music performed in period costumes
# Youth Jazz Band Challenge (in association with Chipping Norton Rotary Club).
