Founded by local independent arts magazine Good On Paper, Hidden Notes Festival which takes place in multiple venues in the centre of Stroud, Gloucestershire (including churches, galleries, art centres, and independent record shops) focuses on presenting the works of contemporary classical, folk, electronic and avant-garde composers rarely seen together on the same stage whilst also providing the artists with a platform to perform new music and collaborations in intimate spaces. It also features film screenings, book talks, exhibitions, late night DJ sessions, installations and more resulting in a packed and varied programme of art, music, literature and film.
