MusicCommissioningCircle

Over the past few years we have developed a range of music commissions working with our Artistic Associate, David Parry, and world-class composers including Jonathan Dove, Gwilym Simcock, John Tavener and Joby Talbot.

Commissioning circles are vital to us if we are to continue this level of artistic innovation on both a national and international level and make a significant contribution to our artistic profile and the profile of the City and County. Becoming a member of a commissioning circle provides a unique opportunity to get to the heart of the development of the Festival commissioning programme.

Festival Schools is our Creative Learning programme that will deliver a year-round programme of cultural and creative learning, connecting schools across Norfolk to the international arts festival programme.

Festival Schools is about helping children and young people discover new work and ideas, to express themselves, to develop a passion for, and to make the most of, creative and cultural experiences.
