Winchester & County Music Festival was created some years ago to enable local choirs to join together to perform annually in two elite venues – Winchester Cathedral and Romsey Abbey. The choirs involved in this Festival are all drawn from the local communities, it is a privilege for those involved to work on great pieces of music with fine soloists and talented orchestras and in two such wonderful venues. In 2007 we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edward Elgar with our concert at Winchester Cathedral which inspired Anne Jales and Patsy Eade to write poems.
