This new festival creates impact in a number of ways. By bringing our world-class artists, it provides new opportunities for local islanders to access musical experiences & knowledge of historically-informed early music - enriching the musical landscape of the Island. 

The creativity and excellence of the Festival will also attract new national & international cultural visitors, promoting the Island as a cultural beacon and help raise its profile in terms of cultural heritage. The Isle of Wight is an Arts Council Priority Place and Levelling Up for Culture Place demonstrating need for more cultural investment and engagement.



In collaboration with IOW Music Hub, festival artists will run workshops in schools, who do not often have the opportunity to see professional musicians, never mind play alongside them. In addition, there will be masterclasses for talented young people who would benefit from creative role-models and exposure to career pathways.



Your support will enable stunning performances at the highest level, inspiring workshops in schools and insight into the cultural heritage of a magical island.
