LIMF is a non-competitive festival. Each ensemble will have 3 performances during the festival:
- The formal performance will be a recital or performance of approx. 1 hour in a London venue. It may or may not be shared with another LIMF ensemble.
- Ensembles may choose to do either: friendship performance*, OR an adjudicated performance**, OR attend a master class*** with a clinician.
- The massed performance is the culmination of LIMF and will feature all ensembles attending the festival. It will be open to the public to attend.
The opening ceremony could include performance highlights from each participating ensemble along with social time for meeting new friends!
*This is defined as one that provides exciting and enriching collaborative performing opportunities in a way that is unique to LIMF. The experience can take many forms; it could be in a community or public outdoor location, in a local school or a sharing and workshop-type experience with one of the other LIMF ensembles.
**This will be a performance of 20 minutes. You can perform your own choice of music, but it must be submitted prior to the event. You will receive 10 minutes of feedback following the event, and a grade and award will be presented to you at the closing ceremony.
***This will be a 1-hour workshop with one of our experts. You can either work on a piece from your own repertoire, or on something new (to be discussed with your clinician in advance).
