Thirteen Friends of Spivey Hall from Atlanta, Georgia, have only rave reviews for the 2010 Festival. The musical programme Angela organized was superb. What a rich and intense experience to hear her play, conduct, accompany, and collaborate for so many evenings! And she was very generous with her time, making each of us feel important as a guest at her Festival. Maria and Luisa arranged our stay at Hotel Fortuna in Perugia, transportation, tours and gala dinners beautifully. The experience of that week in Umbria—the food, the tours, the music, the friendships—exceeded all expectations and are forever engraved in our memories. |

Such a wonderful week I experienced at the Trasimeno Festival. It was so professionally organized and the music was absolutely beautiful. Angela was amazing both as an artist and a hostess. It is one of the memories I will always cherish. And I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Chopin, my favourite composer, also wrote songs! What an interesting revelation. Thanks to all of you who had a hand in making it an absolutely deligthtful experience. Ruth |

Angela: Bravissima!
The festival was everything I'd hoped it would be: marvellous music (natch); splendid dinners with just enough pomp and ceremony; the beautiful old town of Perugia full of creative activity and marvellous shopping; good companionship with other music lovers, and the magnificent scenery of Umbria. I left for home elevated and refreshed.
Thank you so very,VERY much!

This is my 3rd year at the Trasimeno Music Festival and it gets better and better. Angela has the knack of programming at the very highest level, always innovative and inspiring. Add to that her own magnificent performances at the piano, whether solo or in ensemble, and you will agree the Trasimeno Music Festival is not to be missed. As a musician myself, I can assure you a week of the best in musical presentations in a glorious setting. Evelyn Greenberg |

TMF 2008 was outstanding, but TMF 2009 soared to new heights - led, of course, by Angela Hewitt’s pianistic excellence and conducting. And, deftly complemented by the brilliant Orchestra Da Camera Di Mantova, Angela’s superb piano instructor and mentor - Jean-Paul Sévilla, fantastic Italian violinist Giovanni Angeleri, remarkable solo instrument players (oboe, cello and flute), and timeless unparalleled vocal artists - Lott, Murray, Langridge, and Davies.
This year’s venues were every bit as intimate and exciting as before, the gala dinners impeccable, the TMF family (attendees) - both new members and former ones - a joy to be with, the TMF staff so very helpful and friendly, and the beautiful Perugian countryside - a trip back into the past (with all the modern conveniences). While chatting with members of "the family" before one of the concerts, the remark was made, "You can see Angela's touch on everything." That pretty well sums it up!!! Our calendars are marked for TMF 2010. |

I've heard Angela play several times and would love to again. I just stumbled upon this site and am thrilled that such an opportunity exists. I'll be looking at my calendar to see what's possible........What a wonderful experience this must be. |

TMF 2008 – seven nights of musical bliss! What a thrill to watch and hear Angela play/conduct each night along with the superb musical talent chosen to participate. It was like one large musical family coming together night after night to enjoy the best of classical music. Other highlights: The venues were intimate, historic, romantic, and unique; numerous other attendees we met were a joy to get to know; the gala dinners were truly gala – exceeded expectations; the hotel was excellent and well-located for exploring the region; and the TMF staff was exceptionally attentive and patient. My friend and I are still trying to come down to earth after the experience. Needless to say, we have already marked our calendars for next year. |

We're delighted to be planning to attend our second TMF. The pleasures experienced and the friendships made at our first Festival continue to this very day (this evening actually - we are dining in Sydney with friends from Geneva who we first met at last year's TMF). The program looks great (well done, Angela!) and we look forward to meeting up with those folks we met at the last Festival. |
