Folkestone New Music’s Music Club is a fresh series of talks and performances held in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, hosted at Kollectiv, The Customs House, & Market Square. More informal and interactive than traditional concerts, the series invites composers and musicians to share and explore their work in an accessible, engaging way. Aimed at attracting new audiences - particularly those curious about art and the creative process but less drawn to formal concert settings - it also offers something different for Folkestone Music Town’s existing community.
