Fès Festival Announces Partnership with The View from Fez


Director General of the Spirit of Fes Foundation, Faouzi Skali, today announced the Fès Festival's first ever Media Partnership between the Festival and a blog - The View from Fez.

In many ways the partnership between the Festival and The View from Fez is a natural union. Over the years The View from Fez has devoted more stories and photographs to each Fes Festival than any other media outlet.  For example there were 39 festival related stories in 2009, 52 in 2010, 62 in 2011. The blog is read around the world and has amassed nearly two million page views. It is also syndicated by Lonely Planet.

"We are absolutely delighted by the development. Over the years the Fès Festival of World Sacred Music has become our favourite festival and also the one on which we expend a huge amount of time and energy. Covering so many events can be a logistical problem, but, over the years we have been blessed by having a dedicated team and this year will be no exception. This partnership will certainly be of great assistance to our team" - Sandy McCutcheon, The View from Fez

The View from Fez aims to give a complete picture of the many exciting activities surrounding the festival. We cover not only the main festival events,  but also look behind the scenes and around the fringe of this creative and vibrant event.

On the practical front, the team publishes Medina and venue maps, lists of places to eat close to concert venues and updated Festival news and weather information for Festival visitors.

At the 2012 Fès Festival The View from Fez will be represented by the Editor-in-Chief, Sandy McCutcheon, Arts Editor and photojournalist, Suzanna Clarke, writer and photographer, Vanessa Bonnin and Specialist Music Correspondent, Philip Murphy.
