Venue: Tewkesbury Abbey

In Tewkesbury Abbey, reverb muddies a choral-heavy program of Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler from the British Sinfonietta and South Cotswold Big Sing Group.

The Benjamin Britten centenary has inspired many groups into performing his works. The opera Noye’s Fludde was written to give amateur children a chance to perform and engage in operatic music alongside a smaller group of adult professional soloists. This performance was part of the Cheltenham Music Festival as their nod to Britten in the composer’s special year.
