The 17th International Malcolm Arnold Festival
The Dancing Master
This year we will be celebrating the 17th International Malcolm Arnold Festival both live and online! We shall be live with the Ealing Symphony Orchestra on Saturday 8th October with a concert that includes Homage to the Queen and the Trumpet Concerto played by Nick Budd on Malcolm’s very own trumpet! Nick appeared to great acclaim at last year’s Festival talking about Malcom and his trumpet. Then at Malcolm’s alma mater, the Royal College of Music, on Sunday the 9th, a day of concerts, talks and a masterclass. Then on the 30th October we will be streaming our free-to-view online day - full of talks, interviews and many performances including all of Malcolm's sets of dances. More information on our online day, including how to watch, will be available very soon.
