Go Folkestone

Very Special Recital dedicated to Anne Hancox
2025-02-22 15:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | The Green Room, The Grand,, Folkestone, Select a State:, CT20 2XL, United Kingdom
During the weekend of 22-23 February there will be two opportunities to attend a very special recital as part of the Bayle Music and Canterbury Music Club 2024-5 seasons dedicated in memoriam Anne (Hancox) whose love of words and music manifested itself so wonderfully both in her dramatic performances and singing. Both concerts are at 15.00.
The programme reflects the passion she displayed for the connection between words and music including as it does, songs that she loved, studied and performed whilst the Sitwell texts of Façade , to the music of William Walton, she narrated on three occasions in performances that we shared together.
Additionally all the celebrated musicians performing during the weekend were associated with Anne throughout our life spent together in Canterbury and for the past nine years in Folkestone.
It is both humbling and a great pleasure to have the opportunity to draw together these threads of a life so well lived in words and music through the wonderful performers who will be singing and playing this every special concert.
