The Three Choirs Festival at 300
Episode 3 of 5: Worcester

This week Donald Macleod focuses not on the work of one composer, but on a very special institution that has helped shape musical life in Britain for three hundred years - the Three Choirs Festival. Today's programme opens in Worcester Cathedral, at the tomb of King John, highlighting an even longer association between the cities of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford that reaches back 800 years.

Donald talks to fellow Scot Peter Nardone, Director of Music at Worcester Cathedral, and also to Anthony Boden, Festival historian, who highlights the importance of the roles played by Herbert Sumsion and Herbert Brewer in the evolution of the Three Choirs Festival.
