The festival’s Grand Concert will see the BBC National Chorus of Wales, conducted by Adrian Partington, perform Carl Orff’s powerful Carmina Burana at Brecon Cathedral. The dramatic piece, famous for its “O Fortuna!” opening, will also feature a local children’s chorus and soloists from Continuum, favourites from last year’s festival.
The first half of the concert includes a special premiere peformance of the R.S. Thomas poem 'Song' by Lucy Walker, as well as performances of There was a Garden by Alex Mills and Strange Light by Jeremy Thurlow both set to poems by Thomas. The winner of the 2025 Young Singer Award will also sing a solo as part of this magnificent concert.
