The 2025 Leamington Music Festival commemorates 150 years since Maurice Ravel’s birth and 50 years since Arthur Bliss’s death, and explores where the worlds of these two composers meet – the composers and musicians they worked with, learned from, and influenced, form a fascinating web from which to draw inspiration.

With performances from Trio Shaham-Erez-Wallfisch, the Dominic Alldis Trio, 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, and the Sacconi String Quartet with Simon Callaghan piano, we welcome old friends and new with programmes to offer something for everyone in our flagship four-day musical celebration over the Bank Holiday weekend.

There’s late-night jazz to bring a new element to our Festival and a new exhibition, ‘Musical Colours’, from our Artist-in-Residence, Jane Williams, on display throughout the weekend to bring music and art together in the most wonderful way.
