Looking forward to this fascinating mix of repertoire. Though I'm not such a fan of Walton, Pärt, Radcliffe or Walker. Bit modern for me. Plainsong however is what I really tune in for.

Why three conductors? Is it like the three tenors?

Or the Three Choirs, in his case?

[LordV]

It's nothing like the Three Choirs Festival

Because there are 3 separate choirs at the Edington Festival - Schola, Nave and Consort (https://www.edingtonfestival.org/music/the-choirs/).

And, this afternoon @ 3 30 p.m, you can hear all three + stick wavers.

Well at least one of them is a forum member, so perhaps he'll let us know!

Wow! Loved the Walker commission and the soloists in the Walton were excellent. Does anyone know who they were? Excellent readers too... what a fab broadcast!
