CHOIRS came to Worcester for a one of the largest events in the county.
The Three Choirs Festival saw the choirs of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire meet for a week of singing and music.
The event has run since 1715 and this year marked the first time they could run it since the pandemic started.
This year’s festival, which ran from July 24 to August 1, incorporated the themes of journeying, exploration and looking to the future, was the first for Worcester artistic director Samuel Hudson, who took up the post in September 2019 but missed out on hosting a festival last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Three Choirs Festival is the longest running non-competitive classical music festival in the world.
Rotating between the beautiful English cathedral cities of Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester, the festival hosts an annual, week-long, summer programme packed with concerts, services, recitals, masterclasses, talks, theatre, exhibitions and lots more.
The Three Choirs Festival is run by dedicated voluntary committees in Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester, supported by a small professional management team based in Gloucester.
