About the FarnhamFestival 2009

Farnham Festival was founded in 1961 by the then Head of Music at Farnham Grammar School, Alan Fluck.  Its main purpose is to enable young people of all ages and abilities to experience the magic of music making.

The Festival is held biennially and comprises a week of concerts, workshops and an art exhibition held in St Andrew's Parish Church, Farnham Maltings and local schools.

The 2007 FarnhamFestival

Approximately 1,200 young people take part in groups from a wide range of schools and colleges; private, state and special.

Works performed include, as often as funds permit, newly commissioned works by the Festival committee.  Some performing groups commission their own works.  The young people, whose ages range from 5-20, gain enormously from the experience not only of performing in public with fellow students, but also of having the privilege of rehearsing with the composer and giving the works a world premiere.

50 Year Anniversary

2011 sees 50 years of Farnham Festival.  Planning is already well under way for a special festival.  More information will be posted when available.
