The Winchester Festival is an exciting blend of art, music, literature and drama set in and around the beautiful and historic city of Winchester . The festival opens with the great choral work, Mahler's Resurrection Symphony, performed by the Bach Choir and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Amongst the festival's other musical highlights will be a recital by Dame Gillian Weir, the country's leading organist, in Winchester Cathedral . The number of schools contributing to the Schools Art Exhibition has increased, which promises an advance even on last year's exceptionally high quality of work. The programme is scheduled so that you can attend several events each day, and we hope that many of you will seize the opportunity.
