Programme 2003

Previous Festivals

The Tetbury Music Festival will be an annual series of concerts that will take place over the first weekend in October. We will gradually increase the number of days and concerts in the future. What will remain the same is our committment to the best in both artistic planning and performance. We want The Tetbury Music Festival to be recognised nationally as an important contributor to our musical lives.
