The choir are also proud to be premiering ‘Ave Verum’ by their own baritone and resident composer Hugh Walkington. Among the set will be a choral arrangement of the beautiful and poignant ‘Homeward Bound’ by Marta Keen\, the solo version of which (sung by Sir Bryn Terfel) reached Classic FM’s Hall of Fame for the first time this year.  \nFounded in 2015 and brought together to celebrate the collective joy of making music\, Levowan Chamber Choir (www.levowan.com) has now become well-established in the South West. The ensemble performs several concerts each year at venues across Devon and Cornwall\, captivating audiences with its signature sound. Passionately driven to maintain high standards of performance and musicianship\, the choir works on tonal richness and choral blend as well as musical expression and artistic delivery. The singers all have a strong musical background and bring a broad range of experience and versatility. Levowan presents an extensive repertoire\, comprising sacred and secular choral works from the fields of both classical and contemporary music\, and has been honoured to premiere several pieces. \nDirector of Music and accompanist Mark Smith studied piano and organ at Trinity College of Music\, London and worked as an accompanist in London and the South East before moving to Cornwall in 2011. He now works as an accompanist in the West Devon/East Cornwall area and also as a freelance gardener.

I was crying on the first song” Martin \nSongwriter Mae Karthauser is lending her voice to a breathtaking new live performance: a heart wrenching tribute to Joni Mitchell’s seminal album Blue. \nMae will be performing the entire Blue album\, plus nine other Joni favourites from her early songwriting era. \nMae\, who has performed at Glastonbury Festival\, on prime-time BBC1 and on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6\, identified Joni Mitchell as the first and most influential songwriter she discovered as a teenager\, and was called to delve into recreating the album as a live performance when approached by friend and guitarist Rowland O’Connor at the end of a gig back in 2025. “Who’s album would you most like to recreate?” he asked. Unprompted\, they both came up with the same answer. \n“Joni Mitchell’s songs feel like dreams\, like journeys off somewhere deep and familiar” says Mae. “It’s great to go beyond memorising and really into the magic\, the poetry and the stunning emotional landscapes Joni is able to conjure with her songwriting” \nBreathing new life into the 1971 classic\, Mae’s silken and athletic vocals soar nimbly over Joni’s melodies\, and paired with her expressive piano playing she brings a raw and living presence to these timeless songs. Mae is joined by regular collaborators Rowland O’Connor on guitar\, bass and Appalacian dulcimer\, Ric Byer on drums and Tess Broach on backing vocals. \n URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/23-july-blue-joni-mitchell-sung-by-mae-karthauser/ CATEGORIES:Jazz,Music END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260918 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260919 DTSTAMP:20260416T122809 CREATED:20260326T101046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260328T160305Z UID:5235-1789689600-1789775999@calstockarts.org SUMMARY:18 September Cole Stacey DESCRIPTION:Cole Stacey is a visceral and lyrical songwriter\, singer and musician whose versatility as a performer has taken him from The Royal Albert Hall to a 14th century castle in Gdansk. \nFrom Manchester Central Library to The Westfalenhalle Arena\, from festivals in Johannesburg to live sessions on BBC Radio 5 Live. \nWith more than a decade-long association with Midge Ure and India Electric Company he has roamed the highest echelons of British folk through to 80s synth pop. \n“He is incredible”\n– Times Radio \nOften using unique places as part of his creative framework\, Cole records and performs in remarkable spaces\, from medieval jailhouses and Victorian clay factories  treating buildings as collaborators rather than backdrops. His music grounds listeners in timeless sound and emotion\, inviting reflection\, connection\, and a sense of continuity with what endures. \n“Breathtaking\, that incredible voice” – TradFolk \nHis first solo offerings\, including an acoustic re-imagining of Fade To Grey\, catapulted him to the Top 10 in the UK Charts and to numerous sold-out shows in unique locations.  Hailing from a small Devonshire village that is tricky to pronounce\, Cole’s extraordinarily broad musical horizons continue to expand\, but his work is firmly rooted in exploring shared human experience – how words\, stories and songs resonate across time. \nWebsite www.colestacey.net \nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/ThisColeStacey/\nInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thiscolestacey \nX https://x.com/thiscolestacey\nYou Tube https://www.youtube.com/colestacey\nSpotify https://spoti.fi/3xzEY5a\nTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@thecolestacey\nEmail: contact@colestacey.net \nWatch/Listen: Cole Stacey – Quiet Is Louder (official video)\nWatch/Listen: Cole Stacey (feat.

They bring a fresh\, contemporary approach to the violin and piano duo\, combining excellence in performing traditional repertoire with writing their own music. At the heart of their collaboration is the desire to explore. Their roots in classical\, folk\, jazz\, pop and funk music combined with boundless creativity have earned them critical acclaim\, with Classic FM hailing them as “one of the best things to see.” Together\, they captivate audiences with a spellbinding blend of traditional and original pieces. \nTheir exceptional programming is completely unique and has been described as “genuinely original and exploratory”. The duo take a concept or a classical work and explode it outwards\, exploring deep into what inspired the composer and using it as inspiration for their own music. Contemporary folk traditions\, family life\, environment\, personal obsessions – there are so many influences in any composer’s work. Using this as a jumping off point\, the duo write their own music and arrange traditional folk tunes\, which when paired with the classical work\, reflects back to create a deeper\, richer experience of the piece. \nIndividually\, Anna and Brendan have thriving freelance careers. They perform with world-class orchestras\, chamber groups\, and artists such as the Philharmonia\, Dunedin Consort\, and Bjork\, have headlined at prestigious festivals\, and appeared at venues like the Royal Albert Hall\, the Wigmore Hall\, and Ronnie Scotts. As a duo\, they have delighted audiences throughout the UK and performed for the Spanish Embassy. Outside of the concert hall\, they are particularly proud of their Summer Garden Concert Series\, now in its fourth year\, which brings music to intimate and unique settings. They are very excited to have released their debut album in 2025. \nHere is a taster: https://youtu.be/vT53Fjap7h4 URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/11-october-lantivet-duo/ CATEGORIES:Classical END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261115 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261116 DTSTAMP:20260416T122809 CREATED:20251215T143039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260216T102226Z UID:4925-1794700800-1794787199@calstockarts.org SUMMARY:15 November: Elizabeth Jane Baldry DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome the return of the highly accomplished local harpist Elizabeth-Jane Baldry\, for what will be an enchanting concert. As a recitalist\, she is well-known for her warm and approachable presentation style. The Bath Chronicle said of her: “It is hard to say just which was more pleasurable – the exquisite playing or the often deliciously outrageous stories of composers’ lives that Elizabeth Jane recounted in between the music.” She performs both nationally and internationally\, giving around eighty performances a year from recitals in historic houses or specialist arts cruises to weddings and funerals. She has performed to sold-out audiences in the USA\, Italy and France. \nElizabeth-Jane fell in love with the harp as a little girl whilst reading fairy-tales in which the harp possessed magical powers! She grew up to study at Exeter University and the Royal College of Music\, and has been a full-time professional musician for over thirty years. As well as performing recitals\, she is the only specialist silent movie harpist in the world\, playing live to cinema screenings of early film\, and has won multiple awards for her silent film accompaniments and compositions. Her uniquely rich tone on the harp has graced film and TV soundtracks screened in over thirty countries including Canada\, Iceland\, Kenya\, Iran and South Africa. Her compositions have been used by ITV\, the BBC and by Irish\, Japanese\, Danish and Canadian film\, radio and television. \nA life-long lover of nature\, Elizabeth-Jane lives in the Dartmoor National Park. In her spare time\, she loves growing trees and creating a magical woodland where she can brew tea in a twig kettle\, keep bees and listen to birdsong. Sometimes she gets up on Sunday mornings early enough to sing in the church choir. Her tiny granite cottage is full of music\, books and harps\, and the kettle is always on for friends. \n“She is a great artist and consummate performer. She can draw more tone colours out of the instrument than any other harpist living in the world today.” David Watkins\, Professor of Harp\, Guildhall School of Music \nHere is a taster: https://youtu.be/XgcPT3ZR2JM?si=7pNtngm_kCm4qZyH URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/15-november-elizabeth-jane-baldry/ CATEGORIES:Classical END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
