METAMORPHOSIS

A caterpillar changes into a butterfly but is still fundamentally the same animal. Within music and the arts similar transformations have produced wonderful and unexpected creations through the ages.

In 2019, the festival will explore the theme of metamorphosis, with the best of established and emerging talent!.

The festival this year will run from 25 October to 10 November 2019
