Stour Music Festival

The Stour Music Festival is a festival of early music held in the Stour valley, Kent, England, founded by countertenor Alfred Deller in 1962. The principal venue is a medieval church, All Saints' Church, Boughton Aluph.[1] In the initial years it exhibited paintings, organized by the painter John Ward. After Deller's death in 1979, his son Mark Deller inherited it, and celebrated its 50th birthday alongside his father's centenary in 2012.[2]
