SUMMARY:2 May: The Prophecy Of Merlin: A Cornish Tale set to Music
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to an hour of fast-moving oral storytelling and achingly beautiful music; an epic adventure story by Mike O’Connor and Barbara Griggs. After the story there will be a break followed by a 45 minute talk on the history and folklore behind it. \nThe original Prophecy of Merlin was a Cornish-language document of the 11th century or earlier\, now lost. It was the basis of the Prophetia Merlini of about 1153 written by John of Cornwall\, a priest from St Germans in Cornwall. In cryptic language\, John criticised Saxon and Norman incomers and advocated British rule. The main historical sources for the tale are Merlin in Cornwall\, a Ph.D. thesis by Michael A. Faletra\, and Julyan Holmes’ An Dhargan a Verdhin: The Prophecy of Merlin. Athelstan’s ‘cleansing’ of the Cornish from Devon was recorded by William of Malmesbury in his De Gestis Regum Anglorum of 1125.  \nMusic is integral to the tale and is exquisitely dovetailed into the performance. Melodies are linked with principal characters and events. Music supports action\, mood\, and emotion. An Dhargan\, Yn Termyn eus Passyes\, Dons Rys an Kam\, Kan Pibough Sagh\, Kri Bran\, Ilow Kosk\, and An Dasserghyans are by Barbara. Kynvan Bran and Medhel an Gwyns are by Mike. Kan an Alwedh is a unique tune from the time of John of Cornwall\, possibly from St Germans. \nSince the bronze-age\, bards have declaimed battle honours\, genealogies\, histories\, and stories\, both to entertain and also to endorse the positions of their rulers. By camp-fires and hearths\, families told tales to entertain and educate both adults and children. As late as the 19th century\, travelling storytellers in Cornwall told tales in return for bed and board.  \nMike O’Connor OBE is a well-known storyteller\, with a deep knowledge of legend and folk tale\, and great skill with language. A bard of Gorsedh Kernow\, he is respected as a violinist\, songwriter\, and musicologist\, and known to many for his music for TV’s Poldark. He is responsible for the musicology\, folklore and history behind this tale. \nBarbara Griggs is a skilled and sensitive musician\, and a fine storyteller. She too is a bard as well as being a Gorsedh harpist. Her music has been described as having ‘breath-taking beauty.’ She is the expert on costume and custom\, and with Mike\, has worked to integrate words\, sound effects and music to high praise. \nMike and Barbara’s Return to Lyonesse won a British Award for Storytelling Excellence and Odysseus Dreaming was an acclaimed retelling of Homer.

SUMMARY:20 March Guy Singh- Watson @ 1930
DESCRIPTION:The Crisis in British Farming \nBritish Farming is on its knees\, climate change\, labour shortages and the uncertain government support are three of the numerous factors not helping. But the main issue is that farmers cannot survive the prices\, trading terms and insecurity imposed on them by the Big Six supermarkets. Many farmers have already called it a day and many are in crisis. 61% of farmers fear they will go bust in the next 18 months. Guy will explain the issues and his campaign to try to improve the lot of the farmer. \nGuy is an inspirational\, passionate\, opinionated and admired figure in the world of organic farming\, who still spends more time in the fields than in the boardroom. Twice awarded BBC Radio 4 Farmer of the Year\, Guy is passionate about sharing with others the organic farming and business knowledge he has accumulated over the last three decades. \nGuy has always seen profit as a means not an end. Rejecting numerous investor approaches\, Guy always vowed not to allow Riverford to become an enterprise driven purely by the bottom line\, or controlled by outside investors. \nHe stuck to his word\, and on June 8th 2018\, sold 74% of Riverford to its employees at about a quarter of the market value. In May 2023\, he sold his remaining shares\, making Riverford 100% employee owned. \nGuy continues to play a very active role in the next phase of Riverford’s journey. He wants to prove that business can be a force for good\, and is confident that staff ownership will protect and develop Riverford’s model of sustainable food production and lock in place the values on which the business was founded. \n* All Guys fee for the event will go to the charity Ripple Effect https://rippleeffect.org/get-involved/partner-with-us/corporate-partnerships/riverford-and-ripple-effect-farmers-supporting-farmers

DESCRIPTION:Kerdroya\, the Cornish Landscape Labyrinth\, is a work of Slow Art. \nThe Classical Labyrinth icon is a 4\,000-year-old visual symbol found across the proto-Celtic world and beyond\, inviting the pilgrim along its meditative pathway. \nCornish Hedges are the oldest structures on the planet still in use for their original function\, an ecologically benevolent craft handed down aurally through countless generations. \nIn the middle of Bodmin Moor\, Kerdroya entwines these two ancient cultural phenomena and launches them into the future as a beacon of hope for those yet to come. \nBegin the evening with live Cornish music from ‘Dalla Duo’ who created the gorgeous soundtrack for the film. \nFinish the evening with a Q&A session with Will Coleman (Artistic Director)\, Gemma Gilbert (Filmmaker) and Leighton Paull (Cornish Hedger). \nWatch a trailer for the film here

SUMMARY:7 March : SOLD OUT The Countrymen @1930
DESCRIPTION:Our annual event to celebrate St Piran’s weekend at Calstock Arts. The Countryment return to the Old Chapel\, with their ‘Cornish Folk Rock Harmony’. We look forward to two one hours sets with these five local seasoned musicians from Launceston. \nIt’s difficult to find a musical genre that would fully describe The Countrymen\, but Folk Rock Harmony comes close. A five-piece band featuring tight four-part vocal harmony and strong instrumentation. \nPrimarily performing original songs and their own arrangements of lesser-known contemporary folk\, the band’s lyrical inspiration is drawn from life in Cornwall\, the demise of local industries and other rural issues that resonate throughout the country. The Countrymen are accomplished performers\, engaging the audience with light-hearted banter and back-stories to their songs. \nThe Countrymen perform up to 50 live gigs per year including spring and autumn concert tours\, festivals and other folk events. These include Little Orchard Festival\, Rock Oyster Festival\, Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival\, Falmouth Oyster Festival and Falmouth Week. \n“These guys are really entertaining. The musicianship\, vocal harmonies and the humour all come together to provide a great evenings entertainment”. Graham Bunney \nThey’ve also appeared at Looe Saves The Day\, supporting Paul Young’s Los Pacaminos\, headlined at Bridport Folk Festival and this summer\, have appeared at Bie Diap in The Netherlands\, Europe’s largest folk and sea-song festival. September also saw them performing at the Mineral Point Opera House in Wisconsin USA for a single concert.\nAdditionally\, The Countrymen were shortlisted in 2023 for Glastonbury’s Pilton Stage Party and have also made several appearances on Westcountry Television\, BBC Radio Cornwall and numerous online folk radio stations. \n“If you get the chance to see these guys (The Countrymen) in concert then take it\, you will not be disappointed” Harry Glasson \nTo date\, the band have released two albums\, Trees on the Hill and The River Rolls On\, both available on CD and all major streaming/download sites. They are currently working on a third album to be released later in the year. \nWebsite: thecountrymen.co.uk\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/countrymenband\nInstagram: @thecountrymenbandcornwall

DESCRIPTION:Calstock Arts are pleased to welcome to The Old Chapel\, Marcelo Montes a young virtuoso pianist from southern Portugal. \nHis playing is both exhilaratingly close to the edge and elegantly tender\, captivating and astounding audiences wherever he plays with an amazing repertoire (e.g. Bach\, Chopin\, Liszt\, Rachmaninov……).

Most days he commutes to the Ingreja da Misericodia in the centre of Tavira where he practices and composes music on the church’s Bechstein grand piano. Next to the piano there is a donation box\, and visitors can listen to him play for as long as they like. Marcelo includes many Portuguese composers in his repertoire\, and on occasion\, he performs their music along with his own in public settings around the Algarve. \nMarcelo has visited Cornwall twice before\, performing his own and other classical composers’ works to sell out audiences at venues in the west of the county. March 2025 sees his return to Cornwall for a two week tour of the Duchy\, including an afternoon concert at Calstock Arts. This time he will be shining a light on Portuguese Classical Music and performing some of his own breathtaking virtuoso compositions. \nListen to Marcelo here & here \nPROGRAMME:\nAntónio Fragoso (1897 – 1918)\n• Peças do Séc XVIII\n• Aria\n• Menuet\n• Gavotte\n• Petite Suite\nMarcelo Montes\n• Heterónimos\n• Valsa para (Álvaro de Campos)\n• Arrieta em forma de alma\n• Valsa no. 2\n• Romance no. 1\n• Love \nINTERVAL \nCarlos Seixas (1704 – 1742)\n• Sonata no. 30\nLuís de Freitas Branco (1890 – 1953)\n• Preludio no. 4\nMarcelo Montes\n• A sós com a solidão\n• Valsa no. 3\n• Desencontros\n• Valsa do Adeus\n• Improviso

SUMMARY:15 February: Passacaglia Duo - Baroque pipes and Harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Passacaglia is an award-winning baroque chamber ensemble that performs in several guises ranging from a duo format to a multi-instrument line up\, performing music by some of the greatest composers of the eighteenth century\, as well as introducing audiences to new discoveries! With over 25 years of performing and recording experience\, Passacaglia brings the music of the baroque era to life with a range of exciting\, colourful and engaging programmes. \nWe welcome back Passacaglia\, who last performed for us in 2022\, but this time as a duo\, featuring Annabel Knight (recorders\, flute) and Robin Bigwood (harpsichord). \nAnnabel has established a successful freelance career which has taken her across the UK\, Europe\, America and the Middle East. As well as working with Passacaglia\, she is a member of the recorder quintet Fontanella\, which specialises in Renaissance and contemporary consort repertoire.  She is the founder and director of the popular Woodhouse Recorder Courses and runs the recorder department at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Annabel can also be heard playing on film soundtracks including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1\, Fantastic Mr Fox and Philomena. \nRobin won the Broadwood Harpsichord Competition in 1995 and nowadays enjoys a career combining solo recitals\, chamber music and orchestral continuo. He is a member of La Serenissima and the Feinstein Ensemble\, and is a visiting teacher of harpsichord at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Also active in the field of recording and music technology\, he works regularly as a producer\, writes for Sound on Sound magazine\, and founded the recording label Barn Cottage Records. \nThe programme of music the duo will perform is entitled ‘Made in Italy’.  Sensational and dramatic\, melodic and emotional\, Italian music took London by storm in 1711 with Handel’s wildly successful opera\, Rinaldo. The excitement and novelty of Corelli and Vivaldi’s instrumental styling were also catching on across the British Isles\, attracting a cohort of Italian musicians to settle in Britain and\, in the case of Francesco Barsanti\, absorb Scots culture into his own music. \n“Wonderfully passionate and detailed playing” Early Music Review \n“A performance of irrepressible joy” Gramophone \n\nHave a Listen: \nhttps://youtu.be/SBEILeoy67U?si=cSDgmSPeLRSp_kfC \nhttps://youtu.be/IE28Z3BHM-k \n\n Concert Programme\n\nGF Handel (1685 – 1759) Excerpts from Rinaldo (1711)\, Ouverture – Lascia ch’io pianga\, Allegro\nD Scarlatti (1685 – 1757) Sonata in A minor K 217\nA Corelli (1653 – 1713) Sonata in E major Opus 5\, No 11 (1700) – Preludio – Allegro – Adagio – Vivace – Gavotta\nF Barsanti (1690 – 1772) The Lass of Peattie’s Mill from A Collection of Old Scots Tunes\, 1742\nR Carr (fl 1684 – 87) Divisions on an Italian Ground from The Delightful Companion\, 1695\n\nINTERVAL \n\nF Giardini (1716 – 1796) Sonata V in G minor from Sei Sonate di Cembalo\, 1752.

In his illustrious career he has accompanied Luciano Pavarotti\, Placido Domingo\, Jose Carreras and Chris Rea.  Christian Garrick is one of the world’s most celebrated jazz violinists. He has played music with Dame Cleo Laine & Sir John Dankworth\, Wynton Marsalis\, Nigel Kennedy\, Bireli Lagrene\, Tim Minchin\, Caro Emerald and John Etheridge. One of Russia’s most enigmatic musical exports\, The Sultan (sic Adrian Zolotuhin) is a master of the strummed strings of domra\, balalaika\, guitar and saz.  Veteran bass-man Kelly Cantlon has been in the business of laying down the low notes for many-a-moon.  Kelly first found fame in the as a Vagabond with Northern Soul sensations Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. \n

DESCRIPTION:Yvette Andrewartha presents The Unexpected Serendipitous Gig\, very kindly fund raising for Calstock Arts. \nShe explains below why she has called this The Unexpected Serendipitous Gig! \n‘Because the words ‘unexpected’ and ‘serendipitous’ have come to mind so many times during my on-going journey to becoming a jazz singer. ‘Unexpected’ because singing wasn’t a planned ‘thing’ and ‘serendipitous’ because people and opportunities have arrived at just the right moment to help. So I am going with the flow and enjoying every minute……….. \nThere are so many wonderful songs in the jazz genre and I am looking forward to sharing some of these with you in an evening of jazz standards. I have the wonderful Mojito Jazz Trio to accompany me and I am also joined by the lovely Helen White who will sing and play violin and sax. They are all great musicians who appear regularly in venues around Devon and Cornwall and I am thrilled to be sharing a stage with them. \nWe are looking forward to the gig and it will be an evening of fun and joy. And all in a good cause as there will be a bucket where all donations will go to the lovely Calstock Arts. It will be a good way to kick off the January blues and enjoy some great tunes.’ \nWe look forward to seeing you there

She performs extensively as a chamber musician and has given performances and live broadcasts worldwide\, including her acclaimed debut at the Wigmore Hall\, recitals at the Henry Moore Institute\, Leeds\, the Centre for Contemporary Art\, Glasgow\, the Deutsches Museum\, Munich\, and further afield at the Ankara International Music Festival\, the Lincoln Center\, New York and Ulaan Bataar\, Mongolia. \nAs a champion of contemporary music\, Philippa has worked closely with many leading British composers including Gabriel Prokoviev\, David Matthews\, John McCabe\, Cecilia McDowell and Jim Aitchison and has given premieres of their solo and violin duo works. \nPhilippa was appointed Senior Lecture in Violin at Leeds Conservatoire and was awarded Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM) in 2015. In 2020\, she won the Future Classic Women Awards held by the Women’s Radio Station. \nIn the January concert\, Philippa will present some of the most expressive and colourful music written for single violin. To counter the dark and cold of January we will hear Bach’s Partita in E major shot through with sunlight\, balanced by his most famous and joyous first cello suite. There are elements of folk music in works by two British women composers Sally Beamish and Wendy Hiscocks and an exotic glimpse into the Brazilian rainforest in the piece ‘Pernambuco’ by Nigel Clarke. The eerie ‘Written in Sand’ by Icelandic composer Haflidi Hallgrimsson explores yet another sound world – and the muscular and virtuosic sonata by Prokofiev brings the journey to a close. \nProgramme \nTelemann Fantasia no.6 in E minor\nBach Partita in E major BWV\nHiscocks Caprice\nBeamish The Wise Maid\nClarke Pernambuco \nInterval \nTelemann Fantasia no.10 in D major\nBach Cello Suite no.1 in G major BWV 1007 arr. for violin\nHaflidi Hallgrimsson Written in Sand \nProkofiev Sonata for Solo Violin in D major Op.115 \nListen to Philippa here & here

SUMMARY:18 January: Sarah McQuaid
DESCRIPTION:Sarah McQuaid’s lush\, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality\, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars\, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.  \nBorn in Spain\, raised in Chicago\, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England\, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating\, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material\, spanning genres and defying categorisation.  \nAll this is abundantly demonstrated by her new live album and video series The St Buryan Sessions — but needs to be savoured in person to be fully appreciated. \n“One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music.” —Trust The Doc \nsarahmcquaid.com \nfacebook.com/sarahmcquaidmusic \ntwitter.com/sarahmcquaid \nyoutube.com/sarahmcquaid \ninstagram.com/sarahmcquaidmusic

DESCRIPTION:The latest film in the Cornwall Climate Care series #ClimateScam? Who’s Shaping the Climate Debate? comes to the Old Chapel in the new year. \nAs the world faces increasingly devastating climate-related disasters\, why do so many people believe that the climate crisis is nothing more than a hoax? \nIn this eye-opening documentary\, Jaz\, a young mobile hairdresser and tech-savvy member of the TikTok generation\, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. \nIn home visits with leading climate scientists\, activists and sceptics\, she discovers they may actually have more in common than they think. \nWith social media algorithms increasingly funnelling us into polarised views of ‘reality’\, Jaz discovers who stands to gain from the conflict and falsehoods that could undermine our ability to confront the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. \nCornwall Climate Care – a series of documentaries
