"All
festivals should be like Abingdon!"
–
Paul Harris (wind, 1999)
"I
thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to do hands-on work with all
performers"
–
Timothy Barratt (piano, 2000)
"It
was a real pleasure to be able to discuss and develop performances.
More
teachers in the area should be encouraging their pupils to take part in
this
very special festival."
–
Anthony Williams (piano, 2002)
"I
thought the Festival format was excellent, and it certainly led to good
rapport
with the candidates"
–
Malcolm Green (wind & brass, 2002)
"Please
invite me again at some point. You will be interested to learn that I
am trying
to persuade the Bedford Festival committee to do something similar,
with a
'mini-workshop' after each performance."
