Woodley Festival of Music & Arts 2023

The Woodley Festival of Music and Arts returns in March 2023! For many years the Woodley Festival has provided a platform for young people to develop their talents in a supportive and encouraging environment. It also provides an opportunity for performers to gain valuable experience and receive feedback from professional adjudicators. The entries for performers into the Festival closed in mid-January 2023 and the Festival Committee is delighted to see many new and returnee entrants for the 2023 edition.

This year the Woodley Festival will see a variety of Choral, Instrumental, Pianoforte, Vocal and Speech & Drama classes over three weekends in March and the Woodley Festival 2023 will end with a Gala Finale Concert in which the talented performers will have the honour of being invited to perform.  Parents, relatives, and friends of entrants as well as the general public are invited to attend to provide support and to be entertained.
