Programme Note
Always one of the most eagerly awaited Festival events, the Three Choirs Concert this year features acclaimed choirs from St Albans and London in a concert of spectacular music for choir and organ. Their programme concludes with Bernstein’s tuneful depiction of hope for brotherhood and peace.
