Dulwich Piano Festival 2013 at Alleyn’s School

The 2nd Annual Dulwich Piano Festival was held at Alleyn’s School in East Dulwich on Sunday 23rd of June. We had two adjudicators, Frances Wilson and Graham Fitch and around 90 pianists taking part from beginner level to advanced. We were delighted to have so many adults taking part in the festival too. New classes this year included our harpsichord class, a Concerto Class where the winner played his own composition and a jazz class. Details of trophy winners can be found below as well as a selection of photos of some of the participants. Photos are available from the photographer, James Eppy.

More photos and latest news from the festival can be found on our Facebook page.

We are already planning the 2014 Dulwich Music Festival which will include classes for Strings, Woodwind and Singing. The proposed dates for the festivals are February 8th and 9th 2014. A syllabus will be online in July.

This is an event for young pianists aged 18 and under.

This session is taking place just before the Autumn ABRSM exam session starts. Use your performance time to try out your exam pieces or any other repertoire that you would like to present.

Due to the size of the room, we can only admit one guardian per performer. Time limit per performer is up to 6 minutes. You may play for less. We may also be able to accommodate longer performances once we know the duration of the repertoire from all performers. If you would like written or verbal feedback on your pieces, please bring a photocopy of your music.

Afterwards, you are invited to join us for lunch (optional).

Pricing:
£20 per performer plus guardian. The event is limited to 7 performers.

You will play on a Schimmel grand piano.

The event starts at 11.10am to midday. Please do not arrive early as you will not be able to enter the room until the event starts. There is no waiting area.
