Music

Music has always been a universal language—transcending borders, generations and backgrounds to bring people together in shared experience. At the Arundel Festival, music lies at the very heart of our celebration of the arts. Whether it’s classical, choral, jazz, folk, or contemporary, music has the power to move, unite and uplift us all.

From the open-air Arundel Music Festival at Arundel Football Club to intimate recitals at St Nicholas Church or Arundel Cathedral, street performances, and the Jubilee Sessions, music fills the town with energy and emotion. It creates moments of joy and connection that are accessible to everyone, regardless of age or background.

As a cornerstone of the Arundel Festival of the Arts, music helps define the atmosphere of Arundel each summer—turning everyday spaces into stages, and listeners into participants. We are proud to support emerging and established musicians alike, and to continue building a programme that reflects both the diversity and universality of musical expression.
