As the Worcester Three Choirs Festival draws to a close, we celebrate its partnership with the Worcester Festival, with a concert that celebrates the very best of classic British cinema. The Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by John Wilson, presents a diverse programme that includes the glory of the Dambusters Theme and the comic fun of the Carry On theme! What better way to celebrate the culmination of this fantastic festival partnership than with a fun celebration of all that is great about British film.
