About
Every year BREMF programmes around specific themes designed to stimulate new attitudes to approaching and presenting music from the past. The theme for the 2025 Festival is Love, which serves as a starting point to develop programmes which explore the theme creatively.
Each Festival usually consists of around 20 events, grouped around three weekends in late October, with pre-festival events during September and early October offering opportunities to participate in workshops, find out more about programmes, and experience the Festival for the first time. Outside the Festival, BREMF regularly programmes events featuring its choirs and performing groups.
