The theme of this year’s festival, August 23rd – 30th, is ‘The Tree of Life’. The week’s music
and Liturgy will explore the beauty of creation and growth with themes of seeds and roots,
alongside the cyclical regeneration of decay, death and the wood of the cross. There will be
an environmental element, emphasising the need to nurture God’s earth.

The Requiem Mass on Friday 28th will be sung through Mozart’s Requiem; details of other music
for the week can be found in this year’s leaflet. Details of other aspects of the week’s festival
may be found in the annual letter to supporters.
