Three Choirs Festival Hereford 2022

This July (23 - 30) sees the return to Hereford of the world's longest running classical and choral music event. The week-long festival features choral and orchestral concerts, solo and chamber music recitals, talks, cathedral services, theatre, exhibitions, family-friendly activities and walks.

The theme of the 2022 Hereford festival is one of re-imaginings. The programme includes a rare performance of Dvořák’s Requiem; two strikingly different interpretations of the mediaeval poem Stabat mater, by Poulenc and Richard Blackford; and the universal genius of Bach re-imagined by composers as diverse as Elgar, Stravinsky and Webern. 

Other highlights include Haydn’s The Creation, performed by the Three Cathedral Choirs and Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, plus a revival of Sir George Dyson's large-scale work Quo vadis.
