The Charles Wood Festival of Music and Summer School
Patron: Sir John Rutter KBE
The festival celebrates the music of Charles Wood and seeks to give singers and musicians an opportunity to perform and develop their talents. We do this through events during the year and our annual summer school in August for singers, organists and choir directors. It is held in all the main churches in Armagh, Northern Ireland.
