Frinton Festival 2014 Comments

We were so lucky to have such a treat within walking distance. Please try to repeat the Festival next year

It was four days of complete bliss, the four different environments each adding its own ambiance and sound to the music. Superb...I only hope that this is the start of an annual event which would be something to look forward to every year.

It was a huge success and we hope it can be repeated. Just what Frinton needed!

It was a sublime privilege to attend the Great Holland concert. Probably one of the best concerts I have been to.

I thoroughly enjoyed the concert, and hope very much that the Festival goes from strength to strength.

Just to say how wonderful it was to attend the Festival and how fortunate we were to be able to come to all the performances and listen to inspiring music played by such accomplished musicians.

What a FANTASTIC festival you put on. Fabulous music, ideas, organisation, lighting, food, audiences...the list is endless. We had such a great time being a part of it.

A wonderful success and well done for organising such a brilliant festival.

Thank you and all the other performers for a simply superb 4 days of music-making at the inaugural Frinton Festival. Its success should make you all feel very proud. The unique ambience and acoustic of each of the four venues added to the frisson and excitement provided by the quality of the performances; and this was in addition to the opportunity to get to know the music and personality of Sergei Taneyev, a composer I didn't know. I hope that this will be the start of an annual event which will be something to look forward to each year.

(My friend) went to the Schubertiade in Austria last year, where she listened to the same Schubert string quintet and her spontaneous response last night was "This must be the best rendition of this piece I have ever experienced!"

Can I say how much we enjoyed the concert Thursday evening? We can listen to and appreciate the music, but to actually see it being played with such feeling and enthusiasm adds a whole new dimension.

We had a wonderful time at the concert...thank you all very much indeed for such an outstanding contribution to furthering the Arts in Frinton, Great Holland and the area. I believe that this will be a giant step in bringing status to what is clearly developing in this district. I know that we shall all look forward to the next ‘instalment’ of this superb enhancement to our lives here.

We particularly enjoyed the Taneyev Quintet, it was stunning, overwhelming and all absorbing.  I have listened to some CD’s but they are no comparison to having been there.

Long may the Frinton Festival go on and from strength to strength.

It has been such a privilege to meet you and witness your music.  I am also left very impressed with the way you have put it all together in every respect...May you be truly blessed for the pleasure and enjoyment you give to so many through your amazing gift of music. If we can be of any help in the future you will have my support.

1000 Bravos for your festival! Thought you got it all so right. Amazing to do serious programmes - of course that's what the audiences want.

We thoroughly enjoyed last night! What a tremendous start. Lovely atmosphere. Amazing music!

Wanted to write and say CONGRATULATIONS on creating such a wonderful festival! It was just very inspiring to be in the midst of such enthusiasm from her/musicians/your parents/audience members. I think you've started something....

Thank you and your fellow musicians and everyone involved for a wonderful music festival weekend! The programmes, the playing, the venues, and the talk were really super. Above all it was absolute luxury to have two programmes in which everything, new and much loved pieces all were so enjoyable. On both concerts the music and the playing was able to keep one's attention to the maximum full-time (hanging on every note and phrase and response), really wonderful.

...well done indeed on a fantastic Frinton Festival! We thoroughly enjoyed all 3 concerts. Also well done on introducing us all to Taneyev. I particularly enjoyed the Taneyev at St. Mary’s and All Saints. It was like classical rock music (cringe) and I absolutely loved it, head banging stuff!

...everything went so well - it was a great evening, beautiful music in a lovely setting, everyone really enjoyed the experience and hopefully we'll see you all again next year.

I do hope you are as thrilled with your festival as everyone else was? What a special festival. Everything aspect was planned perfectly. WELL DONE! Dates for next year?!
