Spring Festival 2020

Enjoy an evening of vibrant African songs in the splendour of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Quire Voices and Spelthorne Choral Society will join forces once again in central Windsor for this energetic performance of Handel's Messiah.

Run in partnership between Berkshire Maestros and Windsor Festival, this year's competition was open to young woodwind, brass and, for the first time ever, percussion players from across Berkshire.

Lakeside Brass - Jacob Rosenberg and Gideon Brooks (trumpet), Alex Willett (horn), James Goodwin (trombone), and Chris Claxton (tuba) - are an established brass quintet comprising alumni of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

In the inspiring surroundings of Royal Holloway's chapel, join the famous Choir of Royal Holloway and Brandenburg Baroque Soloists for a dramatic telling of Christ's passion through the music of J S Bach.

The sublime setting of Stabat Mater by Poulenc is performed too infrequently. The gathering of these young performers presents a unique occasion in which the glory of this work is celebrated in the perfect space which is St George's Chapel.

In partnership with ABRSM, Windsor Festival and The Old Court present a great opportunity for string players to get some performing experience ahead of their future exams.

Get involved as we take part in the national 'Learn To Play Day' 2020! This event is supported by Dawkes Music and the Music For All charity. The Old Court will be opening up its doors for an afternoon of free instrumental taster lessons and LIVE MUSIC sessions to inspire and support anyone wanting to get involved in Woodwind & Brass playing.

The sublime surroundings of Eton College's fifteenth century Chapel is the perfect venue for Rachmaninov's Vespers, or All-Night Vigil, to give it its official title. Under the musical direction of Oliver Gooch, Cantorum Choir present a quiet, reflective and deeply moving set of vespers by a composer who had a deep and very personal religious faith.

Run in partnership between Berkshire Maestros and Windsor Festival, this competition was open to young singers from across Berkshire. Come and see the very best showcase their talents in the final, alongside others of a similar age, and compete to be crowned Berkshire Young Singer of the Year 2020.

Festival-goers are invited to take part in this biennial devotional performance of Stainer's Crucifixion organised jointly by Windsor Parish Church and RSCM Berkshire Area.
