Camborne Music Festival is throwing open its doors and inviting the public to hear the sweet sounds of its amateur musicians. This year, for the first time, there will be a ukulele class, featuring young pupils from Kehelland Village School.
Nalders Solicitors is sponsoring this 41st festival that will be held at Camborne Centenary Church from Tuesday 9th to Saturday 13th November.
The public are welcome to listen to all ages playing all manner of instruments in over 100 different classes. Nearly 300 vocalists and musicians have entered to showcase their talents and there are more choirs from primary schools than ever before taking part.
Ross Pascoe, Camborne-based partner of Nalders Solicitors is pleased with the Festival’s popularity:
"The Festival is a great opportunity for musicians and spectators alike to enjoy good music. The calibre is always high and it will be wonderful to see the new ukulele class inaugurated this year."

"We’re delighted to have secured the services of John Foster, a highly qualified and experienced adjudicator. John has travelled the world performing as a pianist and an accompanist in master classes. He is an exceedingly knowledgeable and versatile musical authority."
