Islington Festival of Music and Art

Welcome to the 6th Islington Festival of Music and Art - titled "the words beneath the sound",  celebrating the union of two of the most human creations - music and literature. Throughout the  10-day Festival, we will be exploring pieces of music that took inspiration from poems, novels, plays and folk stories.  We will  go on a journey through the worlds of  William Shakespeare,  Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, ETA Hoffman, Dante and others, all  embodied into incredible music, both familiar  - like Schubert's Death and the Maiden   - and also   unfairly  obscure - such as Dora Pejačević's Piano Quartet.

You can find out more about the programme and performers on the festival website. Tickets, including free tickets for under-18s, and discounted tickets for under-25s, are now on sale: grab yourself a great bargain by getting an Early Bird ticket until May 1st!
