All of us at the EMF are hugely grateful to Dorchester Abbey for hosting this year’s Festival and for making the event possible. Heartfelt thanks, too, to our artists, for the vividness, commitment and exuberance of your performances; to all our volunteers, who gave unstintingly of your time to staff the Box Office, to run the talks, to stage-manage, steward, serve refreshments and to sell CDs and other merchandise — the Festival could not take place without you; and, of course, to our audiences, whose enthusiasm, support and generosity all continue to mean so much to us.
