Welcome to the home of Petersfield’s annual musical festival.
Petersfield’s premier musical event is an 8-day celebration of
music-making with a local focus.
True to the vision of its founders, the heart of the Festival is two choral concerts, where choirs from the area combine to perform the great works of the choral repertoire.
Orchestral music is represented by the thriving 60-strong Petersfield Orchestra, whilst we welcome celebrity performers on two evenings in the Petersfield Festival Hall. The Festival also promotes the singers, players and audiences of the future in its two popular Youth Concerts, which involve hundreds of junior and senior school pupils from local schools.
The Michael Hurd Memorial Fund, founded and administered by the Festival, provides funds to promote the development of young performers and composers in the Petersfield area. 2009 also sees the launch of the Festival of Young Composers, a competition to find some of our best local young composers.
You will find more information about individual concert evenings on these pages, together with details about the society. Learn also how you can become a Friend of the Festival or contribute in other ways to the work of the Festival.
