COMPETITIVE MUSIC FESTIVALS provide opportuni-

ties for individual talent

to be developed to its

best level. They provide

a platform for amateur

musicians and verse speak-

ers of all ages and levels,

and give an opportunity

to listen and learn from

the performance of other

competitors.

Most important is the

constructive criticism and

advice given by professional

adjudicators, helping com-

petitors to improve their

respective skills and giving

a deeper insight into their

chosen medium. It is not

really important whether

competitors achieve first,

second or third places in a

class, but the adjudicators’

remarks both on paper and

in public give a sense of

achievement and encourage

development.

Many of today’s professionals

began by entering com-

petitive festivals. Cornwall

Music Festival is proud to

name among its former com-

petitors Sir David Willcocks,

Wendy Eathorne, Alan Opie

and Benjamin Luxon.

This Festival is affiliated to the

BRITISH AND INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FESTIVALS FOR MUSIC, DANCE & SPEECH

of which HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN is Patron

near Grampound (by kind permission of the

Pelham Family). The tutor will be Paul Drayton

who has worked as a teacher, pianist, composer,

conductor, writer and lecturer. He has taught

music to students of all ages, at New College Choir

School in Oxford, Stowe School, Truro College

and numerous adult evening classes. As a pianist

he has played recitals, chamber music, and even

made the odd appearance in a jazz trio. He has

been the soloist in piano concertos by Grieg,

Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and others,

as well as playing keyboard for a recent show cel-

ebrating the work of David Bowie.

The British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech works for amateur festivals everywhere

to help create thousands of educational performance opportunities for children and young people each year.

The Federation, and our member Festivals, are committed to ensuring safe environments for children and young people and

ity to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people, by a commitment to recommend best practice which protects them.

This policy applies to our Board of Trustees, paid staff, Adjudicator members, volunteers, students or anyone working on behalf

of the Federation and our member Festivals.

training for all Festival staff and volunteers, including clear reporting procedures for anyone with a concern about a child.

4 Appropriate recruitment and induction procedures for all new Festival staff and volunteers responsible for providing safe

environments for everyone attending / performing at a Federation Festival.

5 All Festival stewards wear a Festival badge. All teachers / parents / guardians / carers are asked to report all incidents

of any nature to anyone wearing a Festival badge. All reported incidents will be handled in accordance with the

Safe Working Practice and Festival Child Protection best practice advice. In addition we will ensure the availability of

a quiet area / room where concerns can be expressed in private.

6 For the duration of the Festival all teachers / parents / guardians / carers are responsible for the continuous care and

supervision of their own children / pupils / vulnerable adults. If they are unable to attend personally, they must delegate

S U P P O R T I N G

FOR OVER A CENTURY, Cornwall Music Festival has provided a platform for musicians and verse speakers of all ages to demonstrate Cornwall’s extraordinary wealth of talent.

Founded in 1910 by Lady Mary Trefusis, a keen musician who also co-founded the Association of Competition Festivals in 1904, the Festival has grown in scope over the years and is now enormous, offering well over 200 classes in an exhaustive variety of instruments and genres. This includes a Concerto Class with weekend training workshop – something we believe is almost unique among music festivals.

WE WOULD LIKE to continue offering the same breadth of opportunity to performers for another hundred years. The

Festival is run entirely on a voluntary basis and could not continue without the generous support of all our Friends, Subscribers and all those who contribute towards our ever-mounting costs, in whatever way they choose. We are most grateful.

IN ORDER to safeguard our future and help us to plan ahead with confidence, we invite you to consider supporting Cornwall Music Festival.

By enrolling as a Friend or becoming a Subscriber, you will be helping to guarantee the Festival’s future, giving some of the most talented people in Cornwall a vital opportunity to perform in public as well as giving audiences the chance to enjoy the results of their hard work and commitment.

The FRIENDS SCHEME is ideal for families. The set donation entitles an individual, couple or family to a free programme and free admission to every event during the Festival week, including the Gala Concert – especially useful when a number of children in the same family are taking part in a number of events. The Festival benefits from the guaranteed income. To enrol as a Friend for a year costs £25 for an individual, £40 for a couple or £50 for a family.

Alternatively the SUBSCRIBER SCHEME has no official lower limit to the donation, though a minimum of £10 per year is suggested. If you are a UK taxpayer, the Festival can considerably increase the benefit of your subscription by the use of Gift Aid.

FOR FURTHER information please contact the Treasurer, Mrs Pam Carbis, Trenona Farm, Ruan High Lanes, TRURO TR2 5JS tel 01872 501339 � [email protected]
