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.
Singer/composer and fantasy-weaver, Stef Conner has researched back to the very beginnings of music and song. She combines scholarly interpretation of historical materials with sonic reveries shaped by her deep knowledge of contemporary classical music, folksong, and ancient poetry. In her evocative programme, ‘All in a Green Willow’, Stef sets mediaeval lyrics, folksongs, ballads and poems from Britain’s deep past which speak of empathy, connection, love and loss.
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.
