‘Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty, anyone who keeps learning is young’ Henry Ford

At Hatfield House Music Festival, Learning & Participation has always been at the heart of the Festival.

Over the years we have presented Schools concerts, Family concerts, workshops, Young Musicians Platforms and Pre-concert talks.

This year we are expanding our engagement with in-school workshops leading to a performance at St Etheldreda’s Church and embedding our pre-concert talks into our events in the Marble Hall.

Alongside this will be our annual Family Concert featuring the Purcell School directed by Paul Hoskins, a Young Musicians Platform, and a Come and Sing workshop led by Harry Bradford.

No matter your age, there is an opportunity for you to actively engage in music making during this year’s festival, so why listen from the side lines when you can join in with the whole family.
