28 SEPTEMBER- 18 OCTOBER 2015

I am delighted to present the first ever Richmond upon Thames Music and Drama Festival, founded to celebrate the breadth of the performing arts in the Borough.

In the first year of this annual festival we are celebrating the arrival of the 2015 Rugby World Cup to Richmond and have three weeks of ‘internationally’ inspired music, dance and drama from local arts organisations, professional artists and Borough schools and young people. Richmond upon Thames has an extremely active arts scene and we are proud to be able to showcase just some of the talent and variety of work that exists in the Borough.

With over 80 events taking place across 3 weeks, there truly is ‘something for everyone’: from choral evensongs to rock concerts; folk, jazz and classical music; amateur and professional theatre performances as well as site-specific dance, singing workshops and a programme of events designed especially for community participation!

Festival events take place in venues across the whole Borough and we invite you to join us for an exciting three weeks of performance and participation.

2015 is the inaugural Music and Drama Festival. Beyond 2015 the festival will take place in the spring; please do look out for more information on next year’s festival which will take place 1 – 20 March 2016.
