Sounds of Blossom

Come and celebrate the arrival of spring at Kew Gardens, surrounded by spectacular spring blossom.

In collaboration with the Royal College of Music, Sounds of Blossom will bring the spring blooms to life. Music students from the college have composed new music, commissioned by Kew and inspired by the glory of spring. These new compositions will be played around the Gardens in Kew’s blossom hotspots. 

Immerse yourself in nature and feel all your senses awaken as you wander amongst the trees – see the pastel colours, hear the gentle music and smell the sweet scents on the breeze. Sounds of Blossom is a chance to breathe, to lift your spirits and to reconnect with nature and yourself.

Meet the Sounds of Blossom composers

Visit at the weekend for more 

At the weekends during Sounds of Blossom, you'll find live music, wellbeing events and talks from Kew horticulturists and scientists. 

We'll have extra live music sessions on Good Friday (29 March) and Easter Monday (1 April). Find our live events at Cherry Walk, between the Mediterranean Garden and the Palm House. Look out for our spring map and guide or pick up one of our on-site maps.

Please note: No booking is required for talks and live music. Both will take place outside and limited seating will be provided, accessed on a first come, first served basis.
