60 Years of the Bedford Park Festival & Green Days
Ever since the first Festival in 1967, concerts by local musicians and exhibitions by local artists have formed the backbone of the Festival, keeping alive the tradition of the artistic spirit in which the world’s first garden suburb was created 150 years ago.
Violinist David Juritz has performed in the Festival every year for almost 30 years, initially as leader of the London Mozart Players when he launched the Summer Serenade concerts here.
Soprano Milly Forrest began performing in St Michael & All Angels Church in 2003 at the age of 9, when she appeared in the Festival’s children’s musicals – as reported in the Evening Standard when she became a front-page sensation as a last-minute stand-in soloist at the Wigmore Hall. She went on to stage operas and concerts for the Festival and is now highly sought after in her own right.
Pianist Mark Viner has become an equally familiar figure at St Michael’s in recent years, celebrated as one of the finest pianists of his generation.
