The first week of this year’s Festival features many settings of the great German poet and polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Today’s study day examines his towering influence in all areas of culture and especially music. The two lectures and accompanying recital should be fascinating to all, both those familiar with Goethe’s work and those interested to find out more. The subsequent 8pm concert continues our exploratin of this remarkable man. Save by buying a Day Pass to all events on this day.

Schedule of the day:

Dominic Harlan’s interactive family concert in 2012 was a spectacular event, which opened the excitement and pleasure of the song repertoire to a Holywell packed with children, all completely captivated (not to mention their parents and grandparents!). Dominic has devised an entirely new programme for us this year and will give two performances: today and on Saturday 19^th. These concerts are completely free, but booking is essential. (Please don’t deprive others of the opportunity to come by booking if you’re not sure you will attend).

Enjoy the special experience of Choral Evensong in the Baroque serenity of the Chapel at the Queen's College. Tonight's service includes works by Fauré and Britten.
