The Grantham Music Festival is an annual event in which musicians in the town can perform in a friendly environment but in competition with their peers and in front of an expert adjudicator. Ages range from earliest school-age to senior citizens. Classes for all types of instrument and vocal style are normally offered and performers may be soloists, ensembles, orchestras or choirs. Unlike some other Performing Arts Festivals, the Grantham Festival does not include spoken word or dance.
