music
Our programme brings together early, classical, new and experimental music.
To bring it to life, we’ve worked closely with different organisations in and around Folkestone including:
Our collaborations with these organisations brought some of the most exciting music programme to Kent including Thomas Ades solo piano recital, conversation with Mark-Anthony Turnage with performance by Junyan Chen and Jon Carnac, performances by Matthew Rose, and the Rose Consort of Viols among many others.
We’ve also hosted jazz artists including Folkestone-based Sarah Quist with Paul Kisson (The Flying Pickets), Randolph Matthews, and Steve Lodder.
