Closing date for entries end of March

The EALING FESTIVAL OF MUSIC, DANCE AND SPEECH has just published its 2009 Syllabus offering a huge range of competitive performance opportunities at venues throughout Ealing in April and May.

Children, students and adult amateurs have the chance to perform prepared pieces in public, to learn from their performance experience and from the adjudicators’ constructive comments, and to compete for prizes. We have something for all levels, from Beginners to Advanced, and for soloists, ensembles and larger groups.  Our Sections are:

INSTRUMENTAL (strings, woodwind, brass, harp, classical guitar, recorder) – May 2nd, 9th and 16th at Ealing Green Church Hall, Ealing Road. Closing date for entries:  21st March.

PIANO – May 9th/10th and 16th/17th – St Mary’s, Perivale. Closing date: 28th March.

VOCAL – May 16TH AND 17th – All Hallows’ Church, Greenford. Closing date: 29th March.

DANCE – April 14th – April 18th – Drayton Manor High School, Hanwell.. Closing date: 29th February.

SPEECH AND DRAMA – May 9th/10th – Dormers Wells Junior School, Southall. Closing date: 21st March.

Selected performances from the Instrumental, Piano and Vocal Sections take part in a Celebration Concert in June at St. Mary’s, Perivale. The overall Concerto winner from the Instrumental and Piano Sections plays, later in 2009, a full concerto with the Ealing Symphony Orchestra.  

Our 2008 winner, 18-year-old violinist Joo Yeon Sir, has, this week, played Brahms’ Violin Concerto with the ESO at St Barnabas Church, Pitshanger.
