Our Early Music Festival 2017

During our next festival (5 – 7 May 2017) we will be celebrating the lives of two composers; 2017 sees the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth as well as the 250th anniversary of Telemann’s death. Da Camera, The Songmen and the Gonzaga Band will be reflecting these anniversaries in their programmes when they come to Worcester to perform in our festival.

Tickets are available now from Eventbrite
