St. Dennis Band Solo & Quartet Contest 2025

🎺 St. Dennis Band Solo & Quartet Contest – 22nd November 2025 🎶

A huge well done to everyone who took part in this year’s Solo & Quartet Contest! It was wonderful to see so many performers taking to the stage, especially the fantastic youth players 👏.

Thank you to everyone who entered and to all who came along to support — it really made the day.

A big thank you to our official piano accompanist, Miss Hannah Hawken, for all her hard work throughout the contest 🎹.

And of course, an enormous thank you to our adjudicator, Mr Luke Barker, for his encouraging words and constructive feedback throughout the day 🎼.

Thank you to all our competitors for travelling to be with us — we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!

📅 Save the date!

We look forward to seeing you all again at the 2026 Solo & Quartet Contest on 21st November 2026.
