Hans and Mary Romney Winners' Concert

Join us at Mayfield School for a special concert to hear the eight brilliant prize-winners from the 2026 Tunbridge Wells International Music Competition.

This year’s Winners’ Concert is named in memory of Hans and Mary Romney, who founded the Competition, and is generously sponsored by their family.

TWIMC alumnus and saxophonist Richard Scholfield has been invited to curate the concert, bringing the 2026 prize-winners back to Mayfield to perform together.

The prize-winners will perform music by Bach, Beethoven, Dvořák, Saint-Saëns, Mel Bonis, Louise Farrenc and Caroline Shaw, including new arrangements by Richard.

The concert will culminate with Naoe Sasaki, TWIMC 2026 Overall Winner, performing Bach’s Keyboard Concerto in D Major, BWV 1054, accompanied by a chamber ensemble of his fellow prize-winners.

Don't miss this great celebration of the musicians who made TWIMC 2026 such a memorable Competition. This is an opportunity for them to return to Mayfield and collaborate to create wonderful music for us.
