Bath's smart, attractive Georgian buildings and well-restored ancient hot springs still hint at the city's past popularity as a very civilised health resort, and its annual music festival can not help but add to its air of cultural elevation, though with distinctly more fizz than Jane Austen might have enjoyed here. Some of the world's moodiest jazz and most innovative modern classical and electronic sounds rip through the city's many venues, though they are still tempered by the choral, chamber and orchestral recitals which have graced the event's programme since 1948. The festival runs for 17 days during late May and early June.
