A MUSIC FESTIVAL YOU MUST ATTEND: THE PETWORTH FESTIVAL 2020

THE PETWORTH FESTIVAL 2020

 

In the age of global pandemics, here is a rare music festival that still functions! Taking place in the downs of West Sussex, Petworth is a most charming English town with a marvelous music and literary festival. Both events are taking place in a single sweep from 16 October to 1 November, and for the first time, it has become available to enjoy by an online audience. Live concerts take place in Petworth’s historical 14^th century parish church of St Mary’s, and the events are streamed for a worldwide audience’s enjoyment.

 

There will be concerts by Howard Shelley and the London Mozart Players, Mitsuko Uchida, Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason, Tasmin Little and John Lenehan, just to name the classical performers. There will also be jazz concerts and literary / book readings by eminent writers.
