Support the Commissioning Circle

The Three Choirs Festival has a rich tradition of commissioning and premiering works by outstanding composers, including Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, Elgar’s Light of Life and Howell’s Hymnus Paradisi. This tradition continues, with the help of the Commissioning Circle making it possible to premiere new works at the festival today with the same pride as those twentieth-century masterpieces.

If you would like more information about joining the Commissioning Circle and supporting exciting new works, please see below or contact Robert Convey.
