RHYTHMS OF THE WORLD - WE’RE BACK IN 2014!
Hitchin’s award-winning, always exciting music festival is back! Rhythms of the World 2014 returns to the grounds of The Priory in central Hitchin this summer—2nd and 3rd August, 2014. Mark the date on your calendars today, and watch www.rotw.org.uk for details about performers, special events and more. Tickets available in June!
Led entirely by volunteers, Rhythms of the World (ROTW) aims to unite diverse communities through music and the arts. We achieve this by organising a range of cultural events, culminating in an annual festival of world music, dance, arts and cuisine in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
The Rhythms of the World festival has evolved into one of the most significant – and best value – world music festivals in the UK, attracting up to 30,000 visitors to the two-day event. People of all ages and backgrounds come from Hertfordshire and beyond to see local community talent perform alongside artists from around the world.
In addition to the annual festival, we bring elements of the Rhythms of the World ethos to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the event’s spirit through our Rhythms of the World Community Outreach Programme. It is one of our charitable objectives to provide a stimulus to the arts in the region and we aim to involve people from across the community – different ages, races, backgrounds, abilities and musical tastes.
Our Community Outreach Programme involves local schools and community groups in the arts, whilst our events entitled Rhythms of the World Presents take the festival ethos to a wider audience through a range of musical performances.
