FEATURED LINKEach month we highlight below one of the links on our Links Page for your special attention: ![]() Based in Royal Leamington Spa, UK, Presto Music is the UK’s leading ecommerce site for classical and jazz recordings (CDs, DVDs, high quality downloads and vinyl), printed music, music books and musical instruments. Founded in 1986 as a small high street shop, the Presto Music website was started in 2001 and has grown into one of the most significant online sites for music products in the world. The business was formerly known as Presto Classical. Their history, from beginning as a sheet music shop in 1986, is worth reading.
LATEST NEWSEngish Music Festival![]() This year's English Music Festival will run from 22th to 27th May in Dorchester on Thames. See the programme and booking form, and the festival website. Farley Music FestivalThis year's festival will run from 18th to 23rd June. Tickets are now available from the festival website. Pianist Nicholas Walker, the festival's music director, is playing two concerts at the Wigmore Hall on Saturday 27th April. Both will feature music by Balakirev, including his Piano Sonata in B flat minor and the famously difficult 'Islamey'. AGM 2023The AGM was held over Zoom on 04/11/2023. Allan Child stepped down as Chairman after over a decade in the post. Our new Chairman is Tony Sanderson. See our events page for a picture of the partcipants and other details. Latest NewsletterThe September 2023 edition is available here. The Committee is immensely grateful to Simon Rawlings for editing nine excellent issues of the newsletter over the past four years. They are looking for a new editor: please contact the FRMS Secretary if you would be interested in taking it on. Naxos Music LibraryJulian at Naxos kindly responded to my query and supplied a link which does grant free access using an Edinburgh City Library borrower number. The problem seems to be with the links on Naxos's public libraries page. Here is a workaround. Go to that page, scroll down and select your country (United Kingdom) and then select your library name from the following dropdown. This will display a web address link below it. E.g. buckscc.naxosmusiclibrary.com
for Buckinghamshire Libraries. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Instead, highlight and copy the TEXT of the link, then paste it into the address bar of your browser.
