Graham steps down as Longborough Festival Opera chair

Founder of Longborough Festival Opera MARTIN GRAHAM is stepping down from the board he has chaired for over 20 years.

Graham plans to retain a close interest in this season’s performances as LIZZIE GRAHAM, the festival’s Executive Director, takes over as interim chair.

Artistic Director POLLY GRAHAM said the festival would not exist without Martin’s exceptional energy and drive.

“We continue to be inspired by his tenacity and daring, and intend to keep taking exciting artistic risks as we plan for the future, sharing great opera with as many people as possible.”
