Victor Hugo Music Festival

Administered for the Festival by Helen Coombs (Tel: 01481 238726).

We are delighted that several of the artists coming to Guernsey have agreed to give workshops or masterclasses for some of the many young musicians on the island.

The great thing about these events is that they give those taking part a unique opportunity to work with professional musicians and find out how they operate. In a masterclass you can learn as much from listening to a good teacher help someone else as you can from having a lesson yourself.

Young people attending workshops will also be given a ticket to the concert given by their artist.

Attendance at most events will be arranged through schools.
