1813

A Sermon With Music

This year was a fundraising sermon with musical performances, to raise money for the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

At the 1813 fundraising sermon, a senior choirboy named Zechariah Buck sang a solo. Buck would go on to be the Norwich Cathedral organist from 1819 – 1874, during which time he gave music lessons to hundreds of local people.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
