Celebrating anniversaries of two of Britain's greatest composers across the event, the opening concert, given by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Conductor Martin Yates, features Stanford's Clarinet Concerto with soloist Michael Collins, and Holst's 'Cotswold' Symphony. Vaughan Williams's 'Richard II' Concert Fantasy is given a World Premiere, alongside works by Doreen Carwithen and Frederick Delius. Orchestral, chamber and choral concerts continue throughout the weekend.
The English Music Festival celebrates the brilliance, innovation, beauty and rich musical heritage of Britain with a strong focus on unearthing overlooked or forgotten masterpieces of the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century.
