Gloucester Festival Of Britten - Recital: James Gilchrist, Adrian Partington

Four eminent Gloucestershire organizations have joined forces to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten's birth in 2013 through a series of recitals and concerts in Gloucester city centre.

Cheltenham Bach Choir, Gloucester Cathedral Choir, Gloucester Choral Society and Gloucester Music Society will present ten events from October through to December, ranging from intimate song recitals to a large-scale community opera.

Cumulatively, the four groups have a history of 793 years of music-making in Gloucestershire. Although there are strong links between them, this is the first time they have worked together to promote a series of concerts in this way. By pooling their ideas and resources, they hope to attract flocks of music lovers to the city from every part of Gloucestershire, up from Bristol and from over the border in Wales.
