Class Dedications
The Helen Turner Class in the piano section was brought about when a friend asked Maidstone Music Festival to help her find a way in which to commemorate her mother. She suggested providing a cup, but it was decided that a more worthwhile way to honour her mother’s memory would be to name a class after her. Her mother loved piano music, especially that which could be described as "easy listening”, so the popular music class was renamed.
We are now able to offer this opportunity to anyone who would like a class dedicated either to themselves or to a loved one. For £250, a class will be dedicated to the person of your choice for 10 years. After this time, you will be given the opportunity to renew this if you would like to do so.
For more information, please email the Festival Chairman, Sue Greenham [email protected]
