The festival was online again, and many people took part (including me!!). I'm really proud of every one of you who took part; you all performed very well and made some excellent recordings. So a huge pat on the back to: Amelia, Bethany, Camille, Eleanor, Elia, both Evies, Harry, Hope, Jody, Justin, Laura, Lewis, Leyla, Lily, Lottie, Megan, Olivia, Sasha, and Sue.
We're really hoping that the festival will be back to normal, at Invicta School, next year. Bit many thanks to all of you who are still supporting it through the online phase. Congratulations to Justin for passing his Grade 7 exam with an absolutely spectacular result....he only lost 4 marks through the whole exam! This gives his a very well-earned Distinction.
This concert took place on Wednesday 14 July 2021. "The piano pupils of Sue Greenham" have put on regular concerts here each Summer, but with Covid restrictions, we missed a couple of years.
It was really lovely to be back again this year and nearly everybody wanted to take part. As it was, 4 adults withdrew for various reasons, and 3 children withdrew because of having to isolate....and the concert last exactly the right amount of time! Eighteen performers took part, ranging from beginner to advanced, and everybody played very well indeed. I was really proud of each and every performer, and everybody enjoyed the concert immensely. Thank you to all who took part or came along. Congratulations to all who took part in this online music festival. They were Evie, Jackie, Simon, Benjamin, Anne, Lewis, Justin, Laura, Lottie and Olivia. Everyone played very well and received excellent adjudications. It was a very good festival, with excellent adjudicators.
Congratulations to Ella for passing her Grade 6 MTB piano exam and to Charlie for passing his Grade 8 MTB piano exam.
A lot of you took part in "Not the Maidstone Music Festival" and everybody played very well. It was lovely to hear and see all your recordings (and equally lovely to help a lot of you to make them). Everybody received very helpful adjudications and Nancy Litten, the adjudicator, obviously enjoyed your performances very much, because she wrote some very nice things about your playing. So many thanks to Bethany, Charlie, Jackie, Simon, Dylan, Lottie, Leo, Ben, Philip, Samuel, Amelia, Olivia, Rebecca, Sue M, Justin, Jody, Megan, Ella, Lewis, Bella, Sue W, and Evie for taking part. Here's to next year!
