Norfolk and Norwich Festival
The Norfolk & Norwich Festival is one of the oldest city festivals in England, having been held since 1824 and tracing its roots back further to 1772. It was initially conceived as a fundraiser for the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. For most of its history was a purely classical musical festival which saw performances by many famous artistes, composers and conductors. In recent years the festival has moved away from this focus, and has diversified to include a variety of circus, dance, visual arts and children's events.〔(Legacy Trust newsletter ), nnfestival.org.uk〕
Today the Norfolk & Norwich Festival is an arts organisation based in Norwich, England which is primarily responsible for the eponymous international arts festival held in annually every May, with events also held throughout the wider county of Norfolk. The Festival organisation works on creative learning schemes across Norfolk with support from Arts Council England and Norwich and Norfolk councils and has received funding to become a "bridge organisation" for Arts Council England from 2012.〔(Arts Council Bridge Organisations Briefing ), Arts Council England 2011〕
==Origins==
The festival was established as a triennial event in 1824 to support the ongoing construction of the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, and grew out of earlier musical fundraisers for the hospital dating back as far as 1772 including the annual performance of an oratorio at Norwich Cathedral.〔A. D. Bayne, ''A comprehensive history of Norwich'', Jarrold and sons, 1869, chapter XXII〕
In its early days, the festival was mainly held in St. Andrew's Hall and St Peter Mancroft. These events consisted primarily of oratorios and other large scale choral works performed by the Norwich Festival Chorus, then 300 strong.〔 Noted premieres from this time included ''The Last Judgement'' by the German Romantic composer and conductor Louis Spohr.〔(Through the Years ), Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Accessed 11 October 2011〕
