Hans and Mary Romney Winners’ Concert

Eight brilliant prize winners from the 2026 Tunbridge Wells International Music Competition return to Mayfield to perform wonderful music.

This year’s Winners’ Concert is named in memory of Hans and Mary Romney, who founded the Competition, and is generously sponsored by their family. TWIMC alumnus and saxophonist Richard Scholfield has been invited to curate the concert, bringing the 2026 prize-winners back to Mayfield to perform together.

The concert will feature music by Bach, Beethoven, Dvořák, Saint-Saëns, Mel Bonis, Louise Farrenc and Caroline Shaw, including some new arrangements by Richard, and will culminate with Naoe Sasaki, TWIMC 2026 Overall Winner, performing Bach’s Keyboard Concerto in D Major, BWV 1054, accompanied by a chamber ensemble of his fellow prize-winners.

Don’t miss this great celebration of the musicians who made TWIMC 2026 such a memorable competition.

This concert is promoted by Tunbridge Wells International Music Competition and supported by Mayfield Festival
