The festival grew again this year. For the first time we included a concert on Friday evening, so that we could accommodate all the choirs who had applied to take part. We had five primary schools sing on the Friday afternoon too, meaning that in total we had 35 choirs who joined us in Beaconsfield. The concerts all started with a warm up by our musical director, Jane Smith, and then the choirs joined to sing 'Love Sounds Like This' commissioned by the festival from the composer Anna Tabbush. We were delighted that Anna spent the weekend in Beaconsfield so that she could lead her song in all of the concerts. It was hugely enjoyed by adults and children alike.
