City Festival Of Music, Invention & Knowledge
Festival

Join us to hear the City and see the City. This autumn, from the 10th to 24th of October, the City Festival of Music, Invention & Knowledge celebrates the City’s unique environment, beauty and creativity through a two week programme of live music and performance. As the birthplace of London, the City is a place with an ever-changing skyline – modern creations set against Christopher Wren’s baroque churches. We invite you to experience iconic City spaces in new ways.

Festival highlights

  • British Jazz pianist Julian Joseph in Mansion House, with a stellar new quintet and state-of-the-art surround sound
  • Italy’s innovative Eklectric Duo, performing a playlist from hot Paganini to Coldplay
  • Music of Paganini, Rossini and Verdi by Genoa's guitar maestro José Scanu
  • The Flower of Cities, a musical tour of City destinations and Paganini variations, set in architectural beauty
  • Bach, Paganini and the music of bees from Benjamin Marquise Gilmore and Tenebrae
  • Free lunchtime concerts from emerging new talent

The Festival of Music, Invention & Knowledge is supported by the Lord Mayor, Michael Mainelli, as part of his mayoral theme Connect to Prosper; The City of London Corporation's Destination City programme; and the Commune of Genoa. Curated by Artistic Director Ian Ritchie, and produced by Tessa Marchington, Music in Offices.
