SUMMARY:Helen Easter-Beeken: Pebbles Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nOver the last five years\, Helen Easter-Beeken has recorded “pebbles that catch [her] eye.” Using botanical techniques in acrylic and watercolour\, her collection of paintings exposes the detail of each stone under our feet.

They are as old as the fossils in Folkestone Museum’s collection. \nJoin Helen for an art masterclass on the 12th of April to learn how to paint your own pebble. No experience required\, all materials provided – but you can bring your own pebble! \nBook your place on the masterclass today.

SUMMARY:Talk & Concert: Howard Skempton (accordian)
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished composer Howard Skempton introduces and performs his ‘austerely beautiful\, sparse\, decidedly enigmatic music.’ (The Guardian).\n\n\nThe melodies and chord patterns he uses may be commonplace\, familiar\, or even ­banal\, but once we step into his world\, we don’t hear them like that any more. By stripping everything away except what is ­essential\, Skempton’s music clears a space for us to hear sound as sound\, letting the ­gentle play of pattern seep deeply into our ­consciousness. At this point\, simplicity becomes marvellous\, complex\, astonishingly beautiful. We see familiar objects in a new light\, as we’d never seen them before\, transformed. (The Guardian) \nSkempton      works for accordion \nPart of Folkestone New Music’s Music Club. \n\nGeneral Admission £10 but pay what you can.

SUMMARY:Sacconi Quartet & Simon Haram (saxophone)
DESCRIPTION:Promoter Sacconi Residency\nSacconi Quartet & \nSimon Haram (saxophone)\n\nperform Graham Fitkin’s ‘Loosening’ in a specially curated series of performances.Programme\n“In Loosening (2021) the strings are joined by the soprano saxophone of Simon Haram. Having worked with Simon for many years I know his sound and the control he can exhibit over single tones. I had this in the forefront of my mind while composing the work. I wanted the strings and saxophone to follow their own paths\, periodically joining up before veering off again\, aware of the other’s world but never wholeheartedly embracing it. The work focuses on sustained sounds\, with omnipresent string glissandi coming in and out of focus. The solo saxophone’s gentle persistence is untroubled by this\, following a path adjacent to the strings but ultimately diverging. There is smudging involved and there are moments of clarity perhaps. \nIn a world which I think applauds certainty and simple answers\, I hope this work has a kind of frailty to it\, a tendency to feel unsure\, to try with trepidation whilst remembering past fallibility. Or perhaps that’s just the way I feel generally …” – Graham Fitkin \nBooking \nTBC
