Hertfordshire Festival of Music
Founded in 2016 by conductor Tom Hammond and composer James Francis Brown, Hertfordshire Festival of Music (HFoM) is an annual summer celebration of classical music, based in the historic and attractive county town of Hertford. HFoM celebrates and nurtures exceptional music-making, featuring some of the world's finest performers, including Sir Stephen Hough, Dame Emma Kirkby, Emma Johnson MBE, Ben Goldscheider and Steven Isserlis. The Festival also supports professional and young musicians from Hertfordshire, presents fascinating music by living composers, and devises major, innovative projects for education and participation.
Built on the involvement and encouragement of Hertford and the county’s communities, HFoM is grateful for the support of a number of charitable trusts and foundations, county, district and town councils, while a growing Friends Scheme allows individuals to play an important role in furthering the Festival’s scope and potential. The Festival is registered as a charity and supported by a board of Trustees.
