A great event in Dorchester Abbey: one of the most beautiful buildings in Britain; just sitting in the church will balance the grim scenarios which currently surround us.
The splendid Godwine Choir sings very fine music by Holst, Howells, Stanford and many others. Do come!

Looking forward to hearing about #ImogenHolst ’s many achievements. They included extraordinary efforts to promote &protect her vision for #GustavHolst ’s music - 10 boxes of files for her 1974 plans alone Britten Pears Arts archives. Glad too to challenge some of her views on his work

Huge thanks to BBC Proms for including really good but rarely heard works by #GustavHolst150 in his anniversary year. As well as The Planets - always exciting at the Proms - there are his Cloud Messenger, Evening Watch and Hammersmith (written for the then new BBC). Joe Waldron

The Holst Society Holst Victorian House 🤔🤨😑

My bedroom. No, it is actually the maid's bedroom Holst Victorian House in Cheltenham - I recommend it highly! The volunteers are lovely and friendly and it has all sorts of Victorian rooms - scullery, nursery and drawing room and more - great for book research. #WritingCommunity

I am endlessly fascinated by Three Choirs Festival programmes from different eras. This is how the opening day of the #1956 #Gloucester Festival shaped up. Dr Jonathan Clinch views on the #Howells choice?

Highly recommend Holst Victorian House for any history teachers or parents in Gloucestershire - a wonderful townhouse with lots for children to explore, and the ticket is valid for a year (and children are free!)

Really pleased how this has come out. Cotswold Life Candia McKormack 🏳️‍⚧️ thank you!

Vaughan Williams info was one of #GustavHolst ’s greatest supporters as well as best friends. Holst Victorian House opened in 1974, celebrating the centenary of his birth in Cheltenham. Celebrating in style in 2024 and always worth visiting.
