20th Haverhill Sinfonia Soloist Competition
£8,675 in prizes & engagements
woodwind, brass, strings, piano & singers
Saturday 26 September 2009
COMPETITION CLOSED - details remain for your information
The Haverhill Sinfonia Soloist Competition was first held in 1990 and is now an established event in music diaries, annually attracting a broad medley of artists of the highest calibre from the UK and abroad. The Competition was devised with the intention of providing a public platform for talent which might otherwise go unheard and to give musicians the opportunity to acquire experience of solo performing, whether or not a professional career is envisaged, also to encourage the pursuance of classical music among listeners and performers. The Competition is an exciting showcase for musicians – invitations are sent to orchestras, music societies, other promoters and agents to attend the Competition to hear the array of talent.
Promoters of the performance prizes have, in previous years, offered further engagements to winners for return visits in following seasons. Visiting promoters also sometimes offer engagements to other Competitors they have heard throughout the day of the Competition.
