Naomi is taking the place of Dr Timothy Brain OBE who, during a significant tenure as Chair, has seen the professionalisation of the organisation.

Luke Styles marks his 40th birthday year with Tracks in the Orbit, a new saxophone concerto for Iain Ballamy, and Voices of Power for this summer’s Three Choirs Festival.

So how do you represent an organisation like Three Choirs through a logo? This question has been at the forefront of our thoughts over the last few months as we have been working hard on the development of a new website and visual identity for the festival following feedback from you.

75 years ago, in 1946, the Three Choirs Festival was revived in Hereford after a gap of seven years during the Second World War. Much of that year’s festival was carried over from the fully-planned programme for 1939.

The Three Choirs Festival has been awarded funding as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF) to help face the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and to ensure they have a sustainable future, the Culture Secretary has announced today.
