The Leamington Music Festival will be returning to the Royal Pump Rooms next month.

This year's festival will run from 2 - 5 May 2025 and marks 150 years since the birth of Maurice Ravel, a French composer, pianist and conductor and 50 years since the death of Arthur Bliss, an English composer and conductor.

Both will be celebrated with musicians exploring where the worlds of the two composers meet, the musicians they both worked with, learned from and influenced.

The four-day festival is set to kick off with performances from Trio Shaham-Erez-Wallfisch, and Dominic Alldis will be performing.

Other musicians performing include Mark Bebbington piano, Sinfonia of Birmingham and Michael Seal conductor, Roderick Williams baritone and Andrew West piano, the Carducci String Quartet and Emma Johnson clarinet, Deniz Sensoy violin and Alessio Ennea piano.

The Sacconi String Quartet with Simon Callaghan piano will also feature, bringing the festival to a close with an evening concert at the Royal Pump Rooms on 5 May.

Late night jazz is a new addition for 2025, and there's also a new exhibition titled Musical Colours from the festival's Artist-in-Residence, Jane Williams.

This will be on display throughout the weekend to 'bring music and art together in the most wonderful way.'
