Hertfordshire Festival of Music Hertfordshire Festival of Music

World class classical music in the heart of Herts.

The Hertfordshire Festival of Music ("HFoM") is an annual summer celebration of classical music, based in and around the historic and attractive county town of Hertford in early June. Whilst the majority of events take place in Hertford, the Festival brings first class music to other locations around Hertfordshire too.

Concerts and recitals featuring leading international artists, educational and outreach projects, talks and guided walks and events for children and families.

HFoM exists to celebrate and nurture exceptional music-making, featuring some of the world's finest performers. The Festival also supports professional and young musicians from Hertfordshire, fascinating music by living composers, and devises major, innovative projects for education and participation.

Founded in 2016, the Festival has presented concerts that have inspired extraordinary audience responses to artists such as Tasmin Little OBE, Dame Emma Kirkby, Stephen Hough CBE, the Carducci Quartet, the Galliard Ensemble and The Prince Consort. HFoM is fortunate to receive the support of Arts Council England and a number of charitable trusts and foundations, county, district and town councils, while a growing Friends Scheme allows individuals to play an important role in furthering the Festival’s scope and potential.

The Festival is the vision of conductor Tom Hammond and composer James Francis Brown, and is now registered as a charity (registered charity number 1175716) supported by a board of Trustees and a team of volunteers.
