WELCOME

Welcome to the third biennial Guildford Spring Music Festival.  

GSMF 2008 promises to be another important fixture in Guildford's musical calendar and as in previous Festivals  all the events include performers who have significant 'local' connections by virtue of their education, work or residence - this is the basic philosophy of the Festival; to celebrate, during a week of music making, the many professional, student and good amateur musicians who live amongst us.

The Festival is grateful to The Mayor of Guildford, Councillor Michael Nevins, who has accepted the invitation to be its Honorary Patron and has declared 'The Arts' as his special area of concern in his year of office.   Our two Presidents, the renowned international opera stars, Ann Murray, Hon DBE and Philip Langridge, CBE are continuing in their roles and Dame Ann is giving a recital in the Festival on Friday 14th March.  

Some of the Founder Sponsors are supporting individual concerts in the Festival and we are very grateful for their contribution.  We are grateful too to the Guildford Borough Council and The Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust who have given grants again to the Festival.
