2014 is the centenary of the founding of the original festival at Glastonbury by the composer Rutland Boughton. At his Glastonbury festivals Boughton had mounted over 350 staged works; 100 chamber concerts, a number of exhibitions and series of lectures and recitals. The Rutland Boughton Music Trust plans to celebrate this.
There will be a festival at the Assembly Rooms in Glastonbury in August 2014 and, if funds are found, a new recording of Boughton's music including Reunion Variations, the overture to The Queen of Cornwall and/or the overture to the Cycle of Arthurian Music Dramas. The Rutland Boughton Music Trust is appealing for funds to help support these activities, further information from their webpages.
