Title: English Music Festival
Post by: BerlinExpat on Thursday 25 May 2017, 10:29
Does anyone know if the opening concert of the English Music Festival in Dorchester tomorrow (26.5.17) is being broadcast? It's a very mouth-watering concert!
I can only find entries to past events on the BBC Radio 3 homepage.

Nothing is being broadcast next week on BBC Radio 3, and one can't search any further than that.

It will probably be recorded and broadcast at a later date.

Last year the BBC seems to have broadcast at least part of the orchestral/choral concert simultaneously (May 27 2016 at 7:30 pm local performance -and- broadcast, near as I can tell from the website and Google cache of the broadcast time...) This year hoping you're right.

I called the BBC Concert Orchestra office yesterday after reading Mark Thomas's post and they say it is being broadcast on Radio Three on Tuesday 6th May at 14.00 to 16.30.
