Whilst ranging
from the timeless delights of Tallis and Byrd to the power
and drama of Howells and Britten, the focal point of Festival
is the early twentieth century – the golden renaissance
of English music. As well as having commissioned thrilling
but accessible new works in the English tradition, the EMF
is devoted to keeping important works by major British composers
in the repertoire, and to resurrecting the many forgotten
gems by a host of lesser-known composers, whose exquisitely
crafted works never fail to surprise and enchant.
Each English Music Festival
is a dynamic and inspiring event, and all three Festivals
thus far have demonstrated just how stunning this music is,
and how we are playing a vital role in fulfilling the demand
for live performances of these works. I do hope that you
will support us in future Festivals and help us restore this
glorious music to national recognition.
