A wonderful celebration of the music and history of Bewdley, hosted by the Mayor of Bewdley in aid of the Mayor's charities.
Saturday April 25th was a busy day for the Bewdley Festival team - not only did we hold our 3rd Step Into Stories - a brilliant day full of books, poems, stories and music for children of all ages - but as soon as it had finished another great Bewdley event then took place at St Anne's Church. The Music of Bewdley was hosted by Mayor Nicole Harper and supported by Bewdley Festival, and featured performances from Bewdley musicians of all ages, showcasing music from across the genres. The evening featured choirs, instrumentalists, classical and popular music, and plenty of opportunities for the audience to join in, with the highlight being the premiere of a new piece by local composer Jim Ineson, telling the Story of Bewdley through poetry and music.
Here's what Nicole Harper, Mayor of Bewdley, said about The Music of Bewdley...
As Mayor, in collaboration with the Bewdley Festival Step into Stories, I am hosting a Community Concert on Saturday 25th April 2026. Since I first came to Bewdley in 1978, I have been struck by the wealth of talent, particularly musical, present in our community so I decided to mark the end of my year in office with an event that would showcase this, bringing people together and celebrating our sense of community .
The Music of Bewdley promises to be a truly special event, not just entertainment but a chance for local musicians and singers of all ages to be heard and for our community to gather around something positive that we can be proud of.
This will be the last occasion as Mayor that I shall be raising funds for the three great charities which I chose to support during my year of office:
The Rob Poysor Fund for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)
