The Arts Centre will be transformed for a three-day musical celebration, with a programme with cross-generational appeal. The building will be dressed with a golden theme, luxurious decorations, a unique and exciting food and drink offer, alongside free performances and walk-about entertainers, drawing heavily on the talents of student groups and local musicians. Post-performance parties will take place each evening, with audiences encouraged to party into the night, and the event will be brought to a close with a spectacular firework/pyrotechnic display.

The opening night is confirmed as a Stars and Stripes Classical Extravaganza with a programme of 20^th century North American classics from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and featuring student contributions at the heart of the programme. The first part will feature the University’s student choirs and ensembles en masse, performing a medley of works from the American Song Book and from across Latin America. This incredible sight and sound will be followed by the RPO’s programme which will also feature the University Symphony Orchestra performing alongside professional players in a desk-sharing project.

Friday night will be a night of great music from around the world, and the event will culminate on Saturday evening with Goldfields: the best new music, which will be programmed to appeal to a student and young adult audience.

Taking place in and around Warwick Arts Centre, the Festival will feature a diverse, creative and attractive programme of events, talks, shows, interactive food demonstrations and discussions, alongside a food festival and street entertainment. The theme will be ‘Imagining the Future’.

To showcase the best of Warwick we will be aiming to spark imagination using the five senses to guide people around the Festival which will highlight; knowledge, research, teaching, people and campus. Spaces will be used creatively to allow interactivity, participation and access to a wide range of activities suitable for all ages and abilities. Lots of vibrant colour and sights and sounds will create a buzz around this area of the campus. Warwick’s unique partnership with Cheltenham Festivals will be at the fore, with Cheltenham programming a number of high-profile events over the two days, and promoting the Festival to its audiences.
