The Festival provides a welcoming, non-competitive performance opportunity for young musicians in a supportive environment. Primary and secondary musicians of all ages and abilities who play wind, brass, strings or piano are invited to play one piece, either solo or with piano accompaniment. Performers will be allocated a session along with similarly aged\/skilled musicians and perform their chosen piece on stage. Each session will be an hour in length, with adjudications and medals presented at the end of each session.
