Welcome to the Lichfield Competitive Music Festival

We are delighted to present the syllabus for the 2012 Lichfield Competitive Music Festival and invite you to consider entering one or more of the classes. The Festival continues to draw competitors from around the Midlands as well as other parts of England and north Wales. We are confident that the range of classes on offer again this year will attract many musicians. While the standard of many performances in past years has proved to be very high, the purpose of the Festival is to encourage those at any stage of musical ability who enjoy music to benefit from the experience of taking part and the constructive comments of the adjudicators. We look forward to welcoming you to this, the 35th Lichfield Competitive Music Festival.
