Spring Music is an annual Festival of recitals, musical workshops,
rehearsals and performances, held every Spring Bank Holiday week in
the beautiful mediæval hilltop village of Heptonstall. The Festival
was founded in 1985 by Ian Harrold, and brings together amateur
instrumentalists and singers from all over Britain for a week of
convivial music-making and performing. Expert tuition is provided by
the musical director and conductor.
For those who want it,
accommodation can be rented in local cottages, self-catering
accommodation, and commercial premises. There is time to explore some
of the most attractive walking country in England, driving further
afield, as well as attending the Festival masterclasses and a range
of concerts and recitals.
The orchestral concerts in which
participants perform take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday evenings, with rehearsals starting on Monday.
