If you enjoy listening to live music the Wantage Music Festival provides a plethora of it! Young and not-so-young musicians from all around bring their favourite pieces to play and be heard by the audience and an adjudicator who provides expert guidance both on the aspects of the performance that communicate well as well as what could be looked at to take the performance to a higher level.
The audience provides the musicians with the chance to communicate their performance which is valuable to those who don’t often get that opportunity. For the audience it is like listening to a masterclass, and every year they get the chance to hear some exceptional performances.
Classes take place over two weekends and are open for audience members. One £3 ticket guarantees admission to all classes on both weekends. Children free. More information here.
On the third Saturday afternoon there is a festival finale with some of the finest performances, including the play-offs for instrumental prizes and also presentation of other prizes.
