Bowed and Blowed

Over the past seven years, Folkestone New Music has welcomed dozens of leading composers to Folkestone to discuss and perform their work. This programme, which opens the Sacconi Chamber Music Festival, is almost a festival in its own right. It features no fewer than seventeen miniatures by seventeen composers, many of whom will be in attendance. The performers are Ellie Blamires (flute), Anna Hashimoto (clarinet), Joseph Havlat (piano), Alessandro Ruisi (violin), and Adrian Bradbury (cello), with a guest appearance by the Sacconi Quartet.

Served in 4 x 20-minute sections with drinks and food breaks in between
