Our friends and RPS Corporate Members Deal Music and Arts hold their annual celebration of music, creativity, and cultural heritage in the historic coastal town of Deal.

This year's festival celebrate a wide range of genres and art forms, and champions extraordinary young musicians through to established professionals at the top of their game. From Gigspanner Big Band and renowned jazz bassist Gary Crosby’s quintet ,to Wild Arts opera's Marriage of Figaro, the festival explores a variety of musical offerings, and spills out onto the streets with a Town Takeover and a celebration at the Captain’s Garden with artists from the community – from local musicians through to a bespoke art trail with South East Artists.

RPS Composer Nneka Cummins will feature as one of two Composers in focus, alongside Michael Berkeley, and you can hear from both composers in pre-concert Q+As.

Join the festival for a celebration of creativity and community. You can find out more on Deal Music and Arts' website here, and in the festival brochure.
