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

Our friend - the outstanding pianist - Joseph 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.

The Performers:

Flute: Daisy Noton
Clarinet: Bethany Couch
Piano: Joseph Havlat
Violin: Emily Trubshaw

We hope you will join us for what will be a unique and unforgettable occasion.
