More on Three Choirs Festival
Description from Wikipedia:
The Three Choirs Festival is a music festival, held each August alternately at the cathedrals of the Three Counties, (Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester) and originally featuring their three choirs, which remain central to the week-long programme. The large-scale choral repertoire is now performed by the Festival Chorus but the festival also features other major ensembles and international soloists. The 2009 festival took place in Hereford from 8 - 15 August.
The festival is closely identified with the musical careers of British composers Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. The organists of the three cathedrals (who act as artistic director and festival conductor when it is their cathedral's turn to host the festival) are Geraint Bowen (Hereford), Adrian Partington (Gloucester) and Adrian Lucas (Worcester).
