Couldn't have said it better. I'll treasure this pic. We all wish Tom were in it too but he's forever in our hearts and what a wonderful team you've been @ChristineDrury3 @VEM1286 @Shawn_Moore72 @CrossEyedPiano Lynette Williamson, volunteers, & Trustees. Love & thanks to all.
And another @HertMusicFest draws to a close. It’s not been quite the same without our dear friend Tom Hammond, but there have been 10 days of outstanding musicianship & creative collaborations that would have delighted him. Well done, Team HFoM 😊 for another great festival!

With the music of HFoM 2022 still ringing in my ears, my wholehearted thanks to all the truly special musicians who have performed this year. It’s such a privilege to be Artistic Director of @HertMusicFest when there are people like you around!

Absolute firecracker of a recital by @bengoldscheider & @Richard_Uttley last night at the @HertMusicFest. Top notch performances throughout the programme. Take a bow guys 👏👏👏#HFoM #HFoM2022
Fabulous masterclass with @bengoldscheider yesterday at the @HertMusicFest. Ben was a natural communicator, had a warm and friendly manner and imparted wise and measured advice to the young musicians, who would have cleaned so much from this event. Amazing, Ben 👏 #HFoM #HFoM2022
