EDUCATION PROGRAMME
Each year the Stratford Music Festival includes a lively and extensive Education Programme featuring many of the artists performing at the Festival. 2008 contributors included wind quintet Circle of Fifths, the Rosie Kay Dance company and ZUM, who played a fiery fusion of tango and gypsy music with an Eastern European flavour.
