22 days left to watch a special edition of Sioe Gelf, celebrating the career of one of the most significant figures in Twentieth Century Welsh music - the late composer and conductor Arwel Hughes.

To see the winners of the 2009 Festival Prize Draw.....

Former choristers, lay clerks, organists and others involved with the Cathedral Choir came togeter to celebrate this year's Three Choirs Festival in the Festival marquee.

Elijah was a perennial favourite at the Three Choirs Festival for many years. In his authoritative book Three Choirs, A History of the Festival (1992), Anthony Boden includes a list of all significant works performed at the Festival between 1890 and 1991. The entry for Elijah reads "every Festival from 1890 (and some prior) until 1929" and then lists a further twelve outings for the work up to 1986.....I'm not sure how often Elijah has been programmed at Festivals since 1986 but I suspect it's not been given that frequently....Why should this be so, given the work's stature among oratorios?

We have had so many wonderful e-mails from our regular supporters following the Hereford Festival, that I couldn't resist sharing this e-mail from Stephanie Martin, Associate Professor of Music at York University in Toronto...
