🎨🎻 PERFORMERS’ PLATFORM – APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN 🎹🖌️

What colours do you hear in a Debussy prelude? What landscape emerges from a Schubert song? How might a Bach fugue look on canvas?

We’re excited to discover the answers!

Musicians are invited to take part in a unique Performers’ Platform at the Regis School of Music, celebrating the powerful connection between music and visual art.

Performers are asked not only to prepare a piece to perform, but also to submit an original piece of artwork inspired by their chosen music. During the performance, the artwork will be displayed for the audience, creating a fascinating dialogue between what we hear and what we see.

Whether you’re an instrumentalist, singer or any other musician, we would love to hear how your music inspires visual expression.

✨ Perform in a professional concert setting
✨ Showcase both your musical and artistic creativity
✨ Gain valuable performance experience
✨ Share your interpretation of music through two art forms
✨ Receive constructive, encouraging feedback
✨ Meet and connect with fellow creative artists

Importantly, this is a non-competitive festival. There are no rankings, trophies or winners—just an opportunity to perform, create, learn and be inspired in a supportive and celebratory environment.

Participants will receive feedback from the incredible educator and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Freestone, whose wealth of experience and passion for nurturing young musicians makes this a particularly valuable opportunity for performers of all ages and stages.

📅 Sunday 28th June
📍 Regis School of Music, Bognor Regis

Applications are now open. Submission closes on 18th June

Mike’s Music Workshop – Keeping Music Alive in Bognor Regis
At Mike’s Music Workshop, we believe in the power of music — and in the importance of giving instruments a longer, more sustainable life. Located at 47 Hawthorn Road, Bognor Regis (PO21 2BW), we specialise in musical instrument repairs, sales, and rental/hire for guitars, brass, woodwind, strings, and amplifiers.
Our workshops proudly support the circular economy, reducing waste by restoring, reusing, and maintaining quality instruments instead of discarding them. Every repair and restoration extends an instrument’s lifespan, conserves valuable materials, and supports a more sustainable music community.
Choosing to rent an instrument from our workshops isn’t just cost-effective — it’s environmentally responsible. Renting allows you to explore a new hobby or try a different instrument without committing to purchase, helping reduce unnecessary manufacturing and keeping existing instruments in use.
Whether you’re a beginner, a student, or returning to music, our expert craftsmanship ensures every instrument plays beautifully and sustainably.
Make an appointment to visit us and see how we can help.�Appointments can be made easily through our website or by text, phone, or WhatsApp.�Visit www.mikesmusic.co.uk to explore our rental and repair pages, or call 07916 840260 for friendly advice.
Repair. Reuse. Resonate.�At our workshops, your passion for music can help the planet, too.
