City of London Festival

From 21 June to 9 July 2010, the architecture of London’s Square Mile - iconic buildings, exquisite churches, magnificent livery halls, private and public spaces – once again provides the incomparable and unique setting for the City of London Festival.
This year’s Festival presents a new generation of classical music stars and gets the Square Mile buzzing in the International Year of Biodiversity.The 2010 Festival also celebrates a rich array of Portuguese music and culture as part of this year’s Trading Places theme; incorporating music and art from the Portuguese-speaking world, including Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Goa, Mozambique and Portugal itself.
The City of London Festival has a long tradition of supporting young and developing artists and 2010 is no exception. Twelve early-evening concerts (Mondays to Thursdays at 6pm) feature BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists and will be broadcast on Radio 3. New names this year include pianists Khatia Buniatishvili and Francesco Piemontesi. Twelve free lunchtime concerts – Tomorrow’s Artists Today – will be given by leading students of the Guildhall School (Tuesdays to Fridays at 1.05pm).
Elsewhere the Festival continues to celebrate the 200th birthday of Frédéric Chopin, and there will also be a concert every week in St Paul’s Cathedral.
Booking opens on 14 April, to book please call 0845 120 7502 or visit www.colf.org.
