Reviews
What a busy Sunday for Mansfield! We were incredibly humbled to hear performances from many soloists and groups today and everyone was supported by our new Mayor, Andy Abrahams. The audience loved the choral verse from Abbey Primary School and there was truly beautiful singing from Burnt Stump Choir and The Singers. As usual, the John Ogdon Scholarship recipients are definitely ones to watch out for in the world of music. We thank you all wholeheartedly, for your support and look forward to an exceptional festival next year.
We're receiving enquiries asking who's performing in the concert. Invitations will be issued by the weekend. 😃
A reminder for last year's trophy winners - please return your trophy to either Mrs Jones or Mrs Bond. Thank you.🏆🏆
