Hello Everybody
This Festival is open to Amateur Recorder Players and
Orchestral Instrumentalists of all ages
Welcome to the Northwest Annual Recorder Festival to be
held at St Paul’s Church, Heaton Moor, Stockport on the 16th
November 2024.
I would like to thank Reverend Liz Rowles and St Paul’s
PCC for allowing us to use the wonderful church for the Festival and their
wonderful baby grand piano.
Our Adjudicator for the day will be Keith Orrell
(conductor of the William Byrd Singers) who made his first appearance in
2023 and our Accompanist both on the keyboard & guitar Rosemary Thomason
musician and teacher at St Benedict’s School – Thank you
The Festival provides a platform for all musicians to
perform in a marvellous atmosphere in front of their friend’s family local
residence and of course be provided with a fair minded appraisal of their
performance on the day
In 2023 we had some outstanding performances both on
the Recorder Piano & Guitar with Charlotte Higginbotham winning the “Lucy
Carr Rosebowl” with a truly magnificent rendition of her piece.
This year there will be a “Rosebowl” awarded to the
performer who produces the most outstanding performance in the Instrumental
Classes (including Piano & Guitar)
We will have Refreshments, Tombola & Medals of
Participation on the day
Our Prospectus for 2024 is now on the web site thanks
to David Morgan our web designer
See you soon
