1819

John Charles Beckwith Dies

A fundraising sermon with musical performances, to raise money for the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

John Charles Beckwith took charge of the music for the sermon for the final time in 1819, featuring some of his father’s compositions as he had frequently done in the past. He was to die in October 1819 at the age of just 31, dealing the local music scene another blow.

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.
