Workshops, rehearsals and performance opportunities for young musicians, students and professionals in the early years of their careers. The Festival’s closing concert is given each year by Brecon Baroque Festival Orchestra, made up of promising young musicians from the UK’s conservatoires, young professionals starting out in their careers, and members of South Powys Youth Music, the Brecon-based charity which provides high quality music-making opportunities for school-aged students across the county.

Over the years, the Festival has developed a close relationship with The Rhyd Day Service which supports adults with learning disabilities. This year we are adding the Healthy Lives Project under the umbrella of Powys People First to our list of community partners. We are planning exciting music and art projects with these sections of the community throughout 2024, with a grand reveal at festival time.
