Dates: 9 March - 24 March
Another year and another wonderful festival of music with the theme in 2019 of Music and Invention, inspired by the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Local musicians will perform alongside international stars; rising star violinist Fenella Humphreys will open the event, Howard Goodall will showcase his new composition Invictus while Alistair McGowan will return with pianist Lucy Parham to present Réverie – the life and loves of Claude Debussy. Also alongside the festival is the Barnes Young Musician of the Year competition – treats in store indeed.
