Europe and the world: a symphony of cultures

If you want to feel worldly and cultured (instead of hungover and dehydrated) after a festival this year, make sure you’ve got a seat at Europe and the world: a symphony of cultures. The two-week long event sees the glorious galleries of the British Museum transformed into a stage, where you’ll hear a mixture of Japanese orchestral music from the 7th century, medieval temple music from China, Spanish colonial and flamenco music and Byzantine choral music.
