Folkestone New Music is delighted to present this very special concert.

‘Our friend – the outstanding pianist – Jo Havlat, will lead an ensemble of the very best current Royal Academy of Music students in performing 8 world premieres written and performed in tribute to John Woolrich, and also two premieres written by John himself.

This concert is the final event in the year-long series of events to celebrate John Woolrich’s 70th birthday and is an opportunity for established composers he likes and admires to pay tribute to John through writing a piece specially for him; to honour his contribution to their work and also to British music-making generally.

The composers involved, our friends at the Royal Academy, and Folkestone New Music, have been working on this project for over a year now.’

Nine world premieres of brand new works by Tansy Davies, Howard Skempton, Colin Matthews, John Woolrich, Ruta Vitkausakaite, Morgan Hayes, Philip Cashian, Louise Drewett and Dominic Muldowney.

£15 online or on the door
