Welcome to the Carlisle Festival, (the
new name of the Carlisle International Summer Festival),a
highly acclaimed event in the cultural calendar of the
historic border city of Carlisle situated in the north
west of England.
The 2009 Festival is to be held from 9
– 12 July. To mark the 10th anniversary of the
Festival a significant part of the programme is to be
devoted to children, young people and their families
by involving the wider community in classical music.
At the same time the Festival will be bringing musicians
of international repute to the City.
The Festival seeks to contribute to the
Carlisle Renaissance by bringing classical music to
the local community and the audiences of tomorrow, showing
that it can be life-enhancing, thrilling and inclusive.
