What people have said about the Festival “Where does one
begin to say congratulations and well done, on yet another splendid
Festival Concert. The entire programme was so entertaining - not one
dull moment and the standard of those participating was extremely
high............... “.......Congratulations for once again organising such a highly successful Festival. It was brilliant and a delight to attend.” Councillor Avril Slipper “It was a marvellous Festival, which does encourage everyone to ‘get up and perform’. Thank you for giving me that opportunity........” Susan Wright - participant “You certainly seem to have done very well on the press coverage and the whole festival seems to have been well received.” Sponsor “It certainly seems like the Festival has been a huge success and encourages such a wide diversity of music in Croydon.” A head of music “If 2003 is to be a year for building on what is best, then where better to start than with the Croydon Music Festival? This event has gone from strength to strength, each year’s entries outstripping the previous year. Admittedly new categories have been added, but this, in itself, shows how the festival has continued to grow in status as an excellent stage on which to gain valuable performing experience and adjudication advice.” Christopher Wood, Croydon Advertiser “It’s a success story that refuses to end, with each chapter bringing happier twists and turns to an already uplifting story. The Croydon Music Festival is now established as one of the region’s most respected platforms for amateur talent of all ages..........Let us wish the organisers and the participants in the Croydon Music Festival....well. Without them the future of our musical well-being would be stifled, and the fundamental state of our social health impaired.” Christopher Wood, Croydon Advertiser “The Croydon Festival provided great opportunities to try out pieces for future performances in a slightly informal atmosphere, and critical feedback from the adjudicators was such a useful post-performance activity. The variety of people and music that a festival like this attracts, and the scope of different classes packed into each day, along with an informal open-to-the-public approach, makes you remember that music making is about enjoying it, and also enjoying listening to others.” Gemma Webster - participant, now a professional pianist “The surroundings and the atmosphere in the hall was great, not to mention the warm welcome given by the stewards. I felt like I was not in a hall filled with strangers but with friends I had known all my life, which was extremely encouraging.” Angello Kumuthan - South Asian music participant
