The future of Thrapston Festival of Voice

Dear friends and followers of TFoV,

Following an absolutely incredible inaugural weekend in 2025 it is very much the intention to repeat TFoV in future years. Sadly after much effort and engagement it has been decided that the festival will not run in 2026.

This is down to a number of factors, primarily time (as a small team of 1!) and, more crucially, funding. Financing such a weekend takes months, even years of writing applications and budget planning, and at this stage we are not in a comfortable enough position for the festival to take place next calendar year.

Some good news, though! In order to continue the musical output in Thrapston, and safeguard future festival weekends, there will be a number of one-off events taking place throughout 2026, which will be duly advertised in the coming months. The purpose of these performances will be to raise money for TFoV in general, so that we can hold larger events in the future (hopefully in 2027).

Please do support these events if you can! And indeed, if there’s a particular event or performance you would like to bring to or see in the town, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

With all best wishes,
Ellie

Are you (or do you know) a budding young choral singer? Our friends Tenebrae Choir are launching Tenebrae Academy!

The programme is a fully-funded course for 15-16 year olds who are passionate about choral singing. It will consist of 10 Saturday morning sessions in Pimlico (central London), and will focus on helping participants to develop key choral and ensemble singing skills in a friendly and encouraging environment, and help set them on a path to pursue choral singing as a career.

Tenebrae will be hosting a free Taster Day on 28th June, if you would like to find out more.

More information about the programme and application deadlines can be found here:

It’s the final day of Thrapston Festival of Voice 2025, and what a day we’ve got in store:

Thrapston Plaza Opera present a Beethoven Double Bill, conducted by Vince Davy, today at 5pm at St. James’ Church.

We then migrate down the hill to The Way Station, to hear the silky smooth voice of Rebecca Cole, and an opportunity to unwind and reflect on a wonderful weekend of music and song.

Thank you so very much to everyone who has supported the festival, or plans to today. We’ve had a brilliant few days, and today will be a finale not to be missed!

See you there!

WHAT A DAY!!

First an absolutely fascinating masterclass with Jamie W. Hall and our four wonderful singers: Chris, Alexis, David and Emily. You were all absolutely brilliant.

Then a thrilling performance from the six solo voices of ARDEA Consort; taking us through 500 years of choral music to a very appreciative audience!

We’re back tomorrow afternoon for the Beethoven Double Bill with Thrapston Plaza Opera at 5pm, then heading over to to hear Rebecca Cole from 7pm.

See you there!
