About Hildefest @ holy Trinty

Our inaugural Hildefest was held in September 2023. It emerged out of various conversations between parishioners and our partnership with Vocal Manoeuvres Academy contacts over several months. What developed was a full day program of worship, music and guest speakers covering many aspects of Hildegard’s life and work.

We are pleased to open our church for our community to enjoy this free celebration of all kinds of arts and creativity.

2025 Program

In 2025 the program once again includes a ticketed concert on Saturday 20 September, featuring Vocal Manoeuvres Academy ensembles, with guest artist. Sunday is a free full-day program of worship, workshops, guest speakers and performances.
