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
The riches of the British choral repertoire are regularly showcased at the EMF and this year The Godwine Choir conducted by Hilary Davan Wetton bring audience favourites to Dorchester Abbey in a programme entitled ‘The Golden Skein’ named after the words of William Blake set to music by Edgar Bainton.
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).
