SEAN SHIBE | LUTE EPISODES

During our 2025 Festival, Artist in Residence Sean Shibe performed a series of intimate concerts – Lute Episodes – at Norwich Castle. Set against the backdrop of a mysterious painting, The Paston Treasure, Sean treated small audiences of 15 to beautiful renditions of music that engaged with stories and objects found in the painting. These concerts, presented together with Norwich Castle, and featuring an internationally-renowned artist engaging with a significant artwork of local provenance, were a great demonstration of the collaborations and stories Norfolk & Norwich Festival seeks to promote.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
