Roman River Music produces two international festivals in North Essex, and creates opportunities for over 1,000 young people to compose, perform or listen to music and get involved in the performing and visual arts.
We aim to challenge, inspire and surprise audiences with magical and unique experiences in unusual and unexpected venues in Colchester and coastal Essex. We commission new work and collaborations, nurture emerging talent, and tempt internationally renowned musicians and performers to our corner of the world with the promise of appreciative audiences and the time and space to develop their skill and create new work among the salt marshes and wide open skies of coastal Essex.
The charity uniquely combines strong grassroots support from over 100 volunteers with a truly international quality programme.
The summer festival 2017 concerts will be broadcast on Radio 3.
