Calling all music and art lovers! Islington Festival of Music and Art is returning to Angel Central this July, and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store.
The inspiration this year is ‘The Homeland’, what it means and how it is celebrated. We’ll be looking through composers’ relationships with their roots, how they take inspiration from them, either by going straight to the source, or by nostalgically diving in to their distant but strong memories. Keep ready to see what’s on at Angel Central throughout July..
