The 2017 Worcestershire Early Music Festival is over – we’re delighted to say that audiences were bigger than ever before and the concerts were artistically excellent.
Our Baroquathon on Bank Holiday Monday was a brilliant day of music-making in collaboration with the Elgar School of Music and we’re hoping to repeat this another year – it also raised welcome funds for outreach projects.
The Pride and Prejudice Ball at Worcester Guildhall had a fantastic buzz on Saturday – everyone makes such an effort to put together their period costumes (photos available in our gallery) so it looks stunning too.
Thanks to Patchwork for the lovely music, and our wonderful dancing master Brian Stanton.
“There is nothing like dancing, after all. I consider it as one of the first refinements of polished societies.” Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
We are also pleased to announce that The Elmley Foundation is sponsoring the festival; thank you Elmley!
