This will take place in the Fairland Church Centre on Monday 6th February. The doors open at 19:00, with the meeting proper starting at around 19:30. The meeting is open to all, and entry is free. It’s your opportunity to meet the organisers, hear about the forthcoming delights, chat to other festival supporters and have your say about anything to do with South Norfolk’s best music festival. If you’d like to get involved in helping out with the Festival, then you’ll be especially welcome!
We’ve got live music at the start, with free tea and coffee and of course our famous homemade cake. In addition, there will be a slideshow of the photographs of the 2011 festival, taken by the festival’s official photographer Anna Meek.

Stop Press!
On Sunday 15 January, Annabella Ellis was crowned winner of the Norfolk Young Musician Competition 2012. We have already signed her up to do a lunchtime recital for us in Wymondham Abbey during the Festival Fortnight. Don’t miss it - she’s sensational. Read more about the competition here.
We have a long tradition of working with young musicians, and for several years we have engaged the Norfolk Young Musician winner to perform for us. The recitals are inevitably stunning - a reflection of the extremely high standard of young musicians within Norfolk. Long may it continue!
