This year’s Gloucester Three Choirs Festival will be the 295th!
No other UK festival can come near to that record of longevity. We have centuries of tradition to refer to and to respect, but the festival has survived so long through innovation, sometimes gentle and sometimes radical. My first festival as a chorister in 1969 was by the standards of the time an extremely pioneering festival, and a tradition of innovation has blossomed since then.
We’re excited to be introducing some new initiatives for 2023 which we hope will broaden singing opportunities – Artistic Director Adrian Partington
Programme launch – 22nd March 2023 / General bookings – Wednesday 26th April 2023.
