Another successful year for a charming Presteigne Festival (photos)
The Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts maintained the highest artistic standards and still was able to retain the charm of its small town home while reaching out to nearby villages and beyond. Artistic director of the festival George Vass was able to bring together leading composers and performers from all over the UK. This year’s festival celebrated also Lithuanian music in 20 varied performances, talks and film screenings.
