2020 Festival Class Winners

Thank you to all those who entered the Woking Music Festival at this difficult time. For many, making and uploading videos was a challenge, but it was worth the effort. The adjudicators commented on the high quality of many of the recordings … as well, of course, as on the quality of the performances. We all hope that we’ll be back to a live festival in 2021.

Our congratulations to those listed below who won their respective classes.
