"This year's International Festival has been one of extraordinary contrasts, from grandeur and scale to intimacy and informality.  I've seen this year how art can build bridges, change minds and find connection in a world that so desperately needs it. This Festival reminded us why we gather, why we create, and why we believe." 

– Nicola Benedetti, Festival Director
