Programme Note
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.
Always a popular fixture, late-evening recitals are a special feature of the EMF with the ancient warmth of Dorchester Abbey providing the perfect setting for audiences to relax in and enjoy a performance from classical guitarist Jack Hancher in a programme taken from his new album of English works entitled ‘The Memory Garden’ which features composers from John Dowland to Cyril Scott, John Gardner, Benjamin Britten and Dani Howard.
Tickets are on sale from the website and by means of a postal booking form. Tickets for individual concerts will also be available on the door, subject to availability. Full Festival and Day Passes are also available.
Dorchester Abbey is the venue for the duration of the long weekend with talks taking place in the Village Hall as well as a Festival Lunch (pre-booking required). A dedicated mini-bus shuttle operates to/from Didcot Parkway rail station - bookings should be made via the website when the timetable is published.
