Contemporary music festival shuts down

Contemporary music festival shuts down

It’s curtains for the Vle of Glamorgan Festival which has been presenting new works each years since 1969.

Composer Huw Watkins says on its website: ‘This wonderful festival has championed an enormous range of composers over the last fifty years, and I am very fortunate to have been one of them. It has cultivated a sympathetic and adventurous audience for new music in Wales, for which, as a composer, I am deeply grateful.’

But no more, from today.

The money has dried up and the authorities have turned a deaf ear.

Wales is returning to the musical dark ages.
