Dulwich Festival of Music

Musicianship, professionalism and fun – three keywords to describe Dulwich Festival of Music, a fantastic long-standing student-centered event. Each year, DFM welcomes hundreds of senior school students from the network for a 3-day festival that celebrates the passion and joy of music. Participants undergo three days of intense rehearsals led by our teachers and music professionals from world-famous music institutions such as the Royal Northern College of Music, all of which concludes in a stellar gala concert featuring extraordinary choir, big band, rock band and orchestra performances. In addition to this, DFM hosts the annual Dulwich Musician of the Year competition allowing some of the most talented young musicians from across the schools to compete for the coveted Dulwich College International Musician of the Year Award. DFM is truly a core event for any music-loving student in the network.
