BE A PART OF IT!

Welcome to the Earl’s Court Festival 2009! This year’s Festival runs from the 20th June – 19th July. Stretching over 4 weeks we aim to bring you some of the very best entertainment the area has to offer.

This year’s Festival will be boasting a series of ‘firsts’. We are moving into new venues, new local open spaces, new exciting and entertaining areas of creative enquiry, as we take on a broader vision and even more greatly expand the scope of this rapidly developing local event.

So take a break from it all! Step into a fresh, vibrant world of dance, film, theatre, live music, visual art, street performers, literary and scientific events. Enjoy some good food, good company and explore some of the area’s hidden treasures. There’s definitely something for everyone!

Elegy to Iraq, 16th July

Tum‘Elegy to Iraq’ is a performance piece, in which one of Bach’s most beautiful compositions, the Partita in D minor for solo violin, performed by British violinist Fenella Barton is synchronized with award-winning images from six years of the Iraq conflict by pullitzer-nominated war photographer Chris Hondros. The images are searing, the piece is profoundly engaging.
