Folkestone On Song

Bringing Song and Singing to Folkestone and East Kent

The brain-child of operatic bass Matthew Rose, Folkestone On Song will present a full gamut of activities; The Luxon Amit Singing Bursary Award, supporting singers at the beginning of their education and The Tosti International Singing Academy, offering world class tuition to 16 exceptional conservatoire students and emerging professional singers.

FOS also hopes to provide singing opportunities, through choirs, to all members of the local community who would like to be involved.

It is with great enthusiasm and delight that we launch Folkestone on Song, an exciting programme of events bringing song and singing to Folkestone and the local area. Folkestone has become a great centre for music, and home to brilliant musicians, and we look forward to sharing even more exceptional music with you.” – Matthew Rose, Artistic Director
