Festival 2025

Ten wonderful days of performances in Music, Speech & Drama and Scottish Country Dancing, led to the conclusion of the one hundred and thirteenth Glasgow Music Festival on Saturday 15 March 2025, with our Last Night Concert featuring some stunning performances.
Three major Awards were made at the Last Night Concert: The Agnes Duncan Trophy, with the Soroptimist International Glasgow City Award, to Samual Sheridan; The Hugh S Roberton Memorial Trophy, with The Glasgow Orpheus Trust Award, to Harry Yin; The Ailie Cullen Memorial Prize to Johnny Gray. Congratulations to Samual, Harry, Johnny and all who performed throughout the Festival.
Entries from choirs and instrumental groups continue to increase and we would be delighted to see even more large groups – both new to the Festival and returning – at next year’s Festival. Audiences were, as always, supportive and enthusiastic and the whole event was greatly enjoyed by everyone involved: performers, adjudicators, accompanists, audiences, stewards and administrators.
The team of adjudicators comprising Belinda Mikhaïl, Gill Johnston, Judey Struth and Les Lambert. All offered much constructive advice and encouragement. Performers were well supported by our team of Official Accompanists: Stephen Adam, Chris Baxter, Hebba Benyaghla, Claire Haslin, Baichuan Hui, Matthew McIlree, Jia Ning Ng, Sinae Sung, and Mujie Yan. Accordionist, Martainn Skene, provided music for Scottish country dancing.
