To start the festival off, there’s the Party in the City on the first evening when you’ll hear music on virtually every street corner and in an impressively diverse range of venues including cafes, bars, halls and parks. At the same time as the music festival is Bath Fringe Festival, so you can imagine the variety of music.
To give you a flavour, there’s a new operatic and naval performance in the Roman Baths, entitled The Battle of Quiberon Bay, to celebrate Handel’s 250th anniversary. The BBC Concert Orchestra is here with Charles Hazlewood. There’s also Will Kaufman presenting the Woodie Guthrie story, Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys (Bluegrass), The Purcell School Chamber Ensembles, Florilegium with Emma Kirkby (Purcell and Handel), The Well-Tempered Clavier 1-12 (Bach), and so much more that will appeal to all musical tastes..
So, if you fancy a break away at one the premier music festivals in the UK, then pop over to Bath and stay with us here at Beechfield House for the best of all worlds.
