About

Stratford International Festival of Words and Music

Words and music are mediums of communication for the representation of thought, feeling and experience. At their simplest, and their most complex, they are languages of imagination and invention. Through a meticulously crafted and strikingly original programme of themed concerts, talks and masterclasses, the Stratford International Festival of Words and Music is a unique celebration of ideas, and the remarkable effect that words and music can have on the world and the people around us.

The Stratford International Festival of Words and Music is a celebration of the power of language to inspire thought and feeling, insight and reflection – through an innovative programme of themed concerts and talks designed to engage audiences of all ages and cultures. For nine days from 20 September, 2018, Stratford on Avon will assemble an international gathering of musicians, writers, artists, personalities and academics to join in a matchless diary of concerts, speaking events and masterclasses – all formed by the conviction that while words and music enable us to better understand the past, they define our interaction with the present.
