Holmfirth Musical Festival is a competition for solo instrumentalists and singers, small vocal ensembles and choirs. 

This year's competition, the 64th annual, will take place on Thursday 15th to Saturday 17th October 2009, at Holmfirth Civic Hall, Holmfirth, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.  It includes the eighth Competition for the Rotary Club of Holmfirth Millennium Trophy, a prize of £250 for young vocalists or instrumentalists.

The Ladies' Choir class has not had many entries in recent years, so this year it is being changed to an Open Choir class: entries will be welcome from any choir, either Ladies, Male Voice, or Mixed.

Entries are welcome - see the 2009 details for a list of classes and test pieces.  The closing date for entries is 19th JULY 2009 (Previous competitors, please note this change of date).

The timetable for the competition will be published during September.  All will be welcome to attend, either full sessions or individual classes - please support the competitors and enjoy the feast of music.

The Adjudicator will be Dr. Gordon Stewart.
