Syllabus for 2025 is now live on the website.
Welcome to the syllabus for the2025 festival!
We are so looking forward to seeing lots ofreturning musicians and dramatists this year, and as always, are excitedto meet the new faces joining the LSCF family. We have generously been provided,once again, with sponsorship from the ABRSM for some of our classes – this yearHarp and Woodwind.
As always, you can expect a wonderfullyfriendly and welcoming festival, venues with great performance spaces,pleasing acoustics, warm-up spaces and, should you require, first-rateaccompanists. Due to rising costs, we have had to make a slightincrease to all of our class prices, but rest assured, we offer afantastic performance experience with written and verbal feedback from oneof our excellent adjudicators, high-quality certificates for each performanceand as always, many fantastic prizes for our winners.
This year, the festival has this sponsored twoclasses which will be FREE to enter. These are guitar class 250 (Preliminary tograde 1) and Speech and Drama class 403 (age 9-11 Verse and Prose). If youenter online these classes will not be charged, but do get your entry inpromptly as these are highly competitive classes which may lead to numbersbeing capped at first come, first served.
The festival fully relies on a wonderful groupof unpaid volunteers; the people organising the classes, taking the entries,compiling the programmes and syllabuses, updating the website and social mediaand balancing the books all do so as their way of supporting the arts. All thestewards and helpers on the festival days are also volunteers. If you think youwould like to support the festival in this way, either as a casual helper or asa member of the committee, then please get in touch with any of the existingcommittee members. We are currently looking for a treasurer specifically, butposts as section secretaries often become available.
The committee and I are looking forward tohearing your performances this summer. Entries close on May 1st so don’tforget to go online and put in those entries!
