In a double interview, I chatted with conductor Tom Hammond and composer James Francis Brown, co-Artistic Directors of Hertfordshire Festival of Music.
Tom and James give some insights into this year's festival, which runs from 4-10 June 2021. Principal Artist is Chloe Hanslip and Featured Living Composer is Judith Weir CBE, Master of the Queen's Music. This is an exciting - if challenging - festival and there's lots in store for music lovers in Hertford and across the county.
Many thanks to James, Tasmin Little and Chandos Records for allowing me to feature clips from James's The Hart's Grace alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
