About the event
Richmond upon Thames Performing Arts Festival was founded in 1929 as the Twickenham & Richmond Music Festival by a local church organist. What began as a small event for mainly adult pianists and singers has evolved over the years into the Richmond upon Thames Performing Arts Festival - a comprehensive festival of the performing arts for musicians, dancers and would-be actors of all ages. The Festival has been a member of the British and International Federation of Music Festivals since 1934.
The Festival takes place in five sections, Stage Dance, Speech & Drama, Piano, Vocal and Instrumental - each with its own Secretary to handle the applications and to create the performance timetables. There are trophies and prizes for each discipline, including substantial cash awards to help with future training, as ninety per cent of the participants are under 21 years of age.
Richmond has attracted many distinguished arts professionals…
