The symbol of the Festival is a dove, an international symbol of peace.

One aim of the festival is therefore to foster friendship and understanding between nations, as well as offering great fun for everyone who takes part - performers and spectators alike!

Musicians and dancers from around the world are due to take part in Alnwick International Music Festival in 2012. More details will be available in early 2012.
