SUMMARY:Hobson's Choice
DESCRIPTION:FHODS is pleased to announce that the shop doors will soon open on a new production of Hobson’s Choice\, the well-loved\, classic northern comedy. \nHenry Hobson runs a shoe business in Salford\, Greater Manchester. A widower with three daughters\, he is overbearing\, controlling\, and a drunk. \nWhen his eldest daughter\, Maggie – the real driving force behind the success of the business – announces her intentions to marry Willie Mossop\, one of his most skilled employees\, Hobson is astounded… \nOriginally set in 1880\, Hobson’s Choice is a comic exploration of the changing status and expectations of women at a time when society was about to shift dramatically. \nHowever\, to present a fresh view of the play and make it more relevant to a modern audience\, we are resetting to 1966\, another period of significant social change\, especially for women\, which sowed the seeds of women’s lib and the feminist movement.  It was also the year of Bob Dylan playing at the Manchester Free Trade Hall\, the BBC began broadcasting in colour\, and when England won the World Cup. \nAnd so\, under such auspicious circumstances\, our story will unfold… \n\n\n\nThursday 16 May 2024\n7:30pm\nMore than 20\nBOOK\n\n\nFriday 17 May 2024\n7:30pm\nMore than 20\nBOOK\n\n\nSaturday 18 May 2024\n2:30pm\nMore than 20\nBOOK\n\n\nSaturday 18 May 2024\n7:30pm\n\n\n\nTickets \nStalls     £17 | Members £15\nGallery  £15 | Members £13 \nDoors open one hour before the performance

Little did he know that things were about to turn even more sour. But Rhod’s not bitter; he’s bouncing back and feeling remarkably zesty. Hilariously dark\, passionate and way too personal\, this is classic Gilbert\, squeezing every last drop out of life’s latest curveballs… with a little help from an old adversary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDarkly Hilarious. It’s good to have him back \n– THE TIMES\n\n\n\nHilarious Tour-De-Force \n– THE TELEGRAPH\n\n\n\nVolcanic\, high-octance humour \n– THE GUARDIAN\n\n\n\nWithout doubt one of the best comedians anywhere in the world \n– TIME OUT \nBuy tickets from £40.72 + £3.80 transaction fee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy tickets

SUMMARY:String Sinfonia
DESCRIPTION:The String Sinfonia from the University of Kent\, the wonderfully talented university students string orchestra which I direct\,  is coming to Folkestone on Friday 10 May at 7pm for for a free one hour concert in the Green Room at the Grand.

If you are a msuic teacher\, it is a great aspirational concert to encourage your students to attend. And you dont even need to go onto to studying at the top conservatoire to enjoy making great music as a student.  I’d love a huge audience for them\, as we are performing out of our home turf that campus is. The concert is free (but donations are always welcomed :):) \, it will last one hour. Please do come: it is a perfect way to kick off of your weekend. Share a drink with us in the bar afterwards. \nThanks and hopefully see you on Friday evening. \nFlo Peycelon – Musical Director University of Kent Strings Sinfonia

SUMMARY:TANSY DAVIES (COMPOSER) AND JAMES FISHER(ARTIST)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting evening where Tansy Davies (composer) and James Fisher (artist) discuss their work in progress with John Woolrich (composer)\, accompanied by audio visuals. We’ll then be treated to a solo set by Tansy from 8.30pm accompanied by James Fisher’s video projections\n\n\n\n\nBorne out of a fascination with nature and shamanism\, and a grinding rhythmic energy\, the music of Tansy Davies has been described as both ‘ sleek\, hot\, earthy’ and ‘transparent\, brazenly beautiful’. Her music is championed by ensembles including New York Philharmonic\, Ensemble Intercontemporain\, and Tokyo Symphony Orchestra\, and at festivals including Ultima\, Présences\, Donuaueschinger Musiktage\, and Warsaw Autumn. Between Worlds\, an operatic response to 9/11\, was premiered by English National Opera in 2015\, and in 2018 her chamber opera Cave was premiered with Mark Padmore\, Elaine Mitchener\, and London Sinfonietta. She has taught composition at both Royal Academy of Music\, London\, and at the Bloomington School of Music\, Indiana. Recent projects include Nightingales: Ultra-Deep Field for Arditti Quartet\, Monolith: I Extend My Arms\, for the strings of Britten Sinfonia\, and a residency at Concertgebouw Amsterdam culminating in the ensemble piece Soul Canoe. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Into The Woods
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\n\n“Be careful what you wish for” seems to be the ongoing theme in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brothers Grimm inspired musical Into the Woods. \nOur fabulous FHODS Youth Section\, previously bringing you the classic Bugsy Malone\, are delighted to present the Broadway version of Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim. \nThe story follows the Baker and his wife who wish to have a child\, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival\, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk.  When the Baker and his wife are visited by the neighbourhood witch\, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family\, the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse. \nAlso in the woods\, we meet Little Red\, who is trying to visit her grandmother\, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls\, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel\, and the Princes chasing after their loves. \nBy the end of Act I\, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after\, but in Act II\, when Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant\, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom\, but sacrifices must be made. \nRecently made into a film by Disney\, this Broadway version brings even more twists along the way\, more songs and a lot more humour! \nYou won’t want to miss this classic musical\, originally performed by a fantastic cast\, including Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason\, brought to life at The Tower Theatre\, by our incredibly talented Youth Section. \nTickets\nAdults £11 | Under 18s  £8 \nDoors from 6pm \n  \nFHODS YOUTH SECTION presents Stephen Sondheim’s INTO THE WOODS \nMusic and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM | Book by JAMES LAPINE | Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine| Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick \nBy arrangement with Music Theatre International \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nTIME\n(Friday) 19th April  7:00 pm and Saturday 20th April 2.00p.m. and 7.00p.m. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nTICKETS\nBOOK ONLINE

SUMMARY:Church & Coast Soundbath Pilgrimage.
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the first event to take place as part of our special Church & Coast Soundbath Pilgrimage. \nWe will be joined by guest artist Glenda Allaway (harp) at St Mary & St Eanswythe Church\, Folkestone (Kent\, UK). \nThe soundbath is an immersive and meditative sound performance where you are invited to close your eyes and tune to the sound as we play live continuously for an hour. \nFor our Church & Coast series\, prior to each soundbath we are offering an optional short tour of the historic location (led by a local enthusiast)\, plus a short informal workshop. You are welcome to attend any part of the event using this ticket. \n\n4:15pm Arrival and short informal church tour optional (approx 30 mins)\n5pm Short informal workshop – a chance to meet the artists and learn about the instruments optional (approx 30 mins)\n5:30pm Short break & opportunity to meet other participants optional (30 mins)\n6pm Soundbath event (1 hour)\n7pm Questions & reflections optional (approx 15 mins)\n\nPlease arrive at 5:45pm if you wish to take part in the soundbath only. \nCost\nPlease pay in accordance to your financial circumstances. If you can afford the upper prices you are helping us continue this work and making it available to those on lower incomes. Please book enough tickets for everybody in your party (including all children). \nSuggested contribution: £5 – £20 per place. \nWe are offering a FULL series ticket option (come to as many as you wish) for £25 \nWhat to expect and bring\nThe lead artists will introduce the soundbath meditation and offer some guidance on how to best to enjoy the experience (e.g. deep breathing). The meditation will take place to an improvised experimental “soundscape” using a variety of instruments. This is a seated experience so there is no need to bring a mat. You may wish to bring a small cushion to sit on. You can also stand if you wish to. People often choose to close their eyes during the meditation. \nWe recommend you bring warm clothes as inside the church is always a little cooler (unless a heat wave is upon us!). \nHot and cold drinks will be available. \nThe short church tour will be led by a local enthusiast – an opportunity to learn about the history\, features and folklore of each historic location. The short tour is suitable for a general public (non-specialist) audience. \nThe guest artist will lead a short informal workshop to introduce their instrument and answer any questions you may have. If you wish\, you may choose to participate in some improvised music creation using your voice\, body percussion or light percussion instruments (provided). \nChildren\nThe soundbath element will involve sitting in silence for 45-60 minutes. Children are welcome provided they can seat through the experience. The soundbath is not usually suitable for very young children\, though they are welcome to attend the tour and workshop. Children must be supervised by an accompanying adult at all times. \nTravel\nWherever possible\, we would encourage attendees to walk\, cycle or use public transport to attend the event. Folkestone is well-served by local buses\, as well as train connections to Ashford\, Dover\, Ramsgate and London (with High Speed connections). There are also many local walking routes nearby in areas of historic and environmental interest including the sea front path to Sandgate/Hythe\, Folkestone Warren\, Kent Downs\, The Weald and Romney Warren.
