The Forum had a successful classical festival on April 30th, 2022. There were less students and teachers participating than normal but according the judge, Michael Rivers, the students were up to the high standards he has come to expect from the Forum and that he was very happy to judge. The Classical Festival was moved to UWGB due to a last minute schedule conflict with St. Anne’s. The Committee wishes to thank Michael Rector and UWGB for accommodating us; it helped to further deepen a good relationship between the Forum and UWGB.
