WELCOME TO THE BMF
The Birmingham Music Festival is one of Britain's leading piano competitions.
We welcome entrants of all ages and all abilities from enthusiastic beginners and gifted amateurs to veteran competitors.
We have a fantastic venue: The Ruddock Performing Arts Centre at King Edward’s Schools. The BMF offers high quality grand pianos in both of our performance theatres and adjudicators to match.
We think the Birmingham Music Festival offers the very best in amateur music making.
We look forward to seeing you at the Festival!
Our Aim:
"The object of the Festival is to advance, encourage and foster the art of music making by holding and promoting an annual competitive festival of public performances, recitals and concerts"

Our 83rd Birmingham Music Festival has now concluded.
Many thanks to all entrants for making the Festival a success! I also thank the BMF Committee and volunteers, and of course teachers and all supporters of the Festival.
Special thanks go to our 2025 adjudicators Caroline Clemmow and Murray McLachlan. Both have praised the high standard of the competitors and the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Festival.
I look forward to seeing you and hearing your performance in the 2026 Festival. All class winners will be invited to play in the Summer Concert in July 2026 which everyone is welcome to attend.
