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

SUMMARY:14 March: Kerdroya\, the Cornish Hedge with music from the Dalla Duo @ 1930 rescheduled date
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

SUMMARY:2 March: Marcelo Montes @ 3.30
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……). His focus and dedication are both incredible and inspiring. To be immersed in his playing is truly magical. Simply\, Marcelo is a musically imaginative and technical maestro of the piano. \nMarcelo is 33yrs old and lives in the Portuguese countryside 20km from the town of Tavira with his aunt’s family and his grandmother who is 100 years old. There are only 2 buses a day\, one in the morning and one returning in the evening. 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.

SUMMARY:8 February: SOLD OUT Budapest Cafe Orchestra

From Balkan and Russian traditional music to their artful distillations of Romantic masterworks to soaring Gaelic folk anthems\, BCO is an infectious musical experience like none other. \nFifteen albums to their name\, Budapest Café Orchestra was established by British composer and violinist Christian Garrick in 2009.

Accordionist exemplar Eddie Hession is a supreme accordion champion of Great Britain. 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

SUMMARY:31 January: POSTPONED due to illness - Kerdroya\, the Cornish Hedge with music from the Dalla Duo @ 1930
DESCRIPTION:We have had to postpone Kerdroya due to illness and hope to reschedule for mid March. All ticket holders will be contacted about the new date within 48 hours (30/1) \nKerdroya\, 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:24 January: Yvette Andrewartha: The Unexpected Serendipitous Gig - with Helen White & Mojito (Fund raiser for CA)
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

SUMMARY:19 January: Philippa Mo - ‘SUITE FANTASIA CAPRICE’ @ 3.30
DESCRIPTION:After a highly successful solo concert in January 2024\, Calstock Arts is delighted to welcome back the virtuosa violinist\, Philippa Mo. \nBetween January and November 2025\, Philippa will be playing a series of concerts ‘SUITE FANTASIA CAPRICE’ in which the music of Johann Sebastian Bach will be highlighted\, tracing his progression as a composer from his earliest compositions written for solo violin to his later works. \nWe are very fortunate that Philippa will be playing the first and final concerts of the series at Calstock Arts. \nFurther information about the other concerts\, all of which will be performed at other venues in the south-west\, will be publicised at a later date. \nTickets can be purchased for either CA concert individually or for both concerts at a reduced price (see below for details). \nPhilippa studied at the royal Academy of Music\, London and at the Central Conservatory of Music\, Beijing. 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

SUMMARY:2 January: CFylm presents - Wicked Little Letters @ 1930
DESCRIPTION:When a devout British woman accuses her rowdy Irish neighbor of sending her a string of lewd letters in 1920s England\, a police officer and the accuser’s nosy friends will stop at nothing to find out who’s to blame. \nThe film follows an Irish immigrant\, Rose Gooding (Buckley)\, and her former friend\, Edith Swan (Colman)\, after Edith accuses Rose of sending her countless disparaging\, obscenity-filled letters. Rose denies penning the messages — she’s already so outspoken in real life\, what would be the point? — while uptight Edith insists Rose is guilty. Who else would want to do Edith harm? After all\, it was Edith who called child protective services on Rose\, her loud and disruptive neighbor. The scandal ignites chaos throughout their small town when Rose is put on trial\, leading Edith’s friends — and the town’s only woman police officer\, Gladys (Vasan) — to investigate who the real culprit is. \nThe film\, from director Thea Sharrock (The Beautiful Game) and writer Jonny Sweet (Chickens)\, stars Oscar winner Olivia Colman\, Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley\, BAFTA nominee Anjana Vasan & Timothy Spall. \n

SUMMARY:1 December: Goblin Band & Craven
DESCRIPTION:Calstock Arts are thrilled to introduce a double bill of folk; Goblin Band and Craven. \nGoblin Band formed from sessions of the same name run out of the HobGoblin Music shop in central London\, organised by a collection of young queer folk obsessive friends and shop employees looking to forge their own way into folk music. \nThis gave rise to a band of multi-instrumentalists firmly rooted in the folk music of Britain\, interpreted via the socialist tradition concerned with folk’s relationship to the history of the working classes\, capitalism\, and colonialism. \nThrough a fusion of harmony singing\, fiddle\, squeezebox\, hurdy gurdy\, recorders and more\, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic alternative expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere. \n“They can play and they can sing and they’re fearless…When I saw Goblin Band singing recently\, I just thought\, “Why didn’t I think of that?” \n– MARTIN CARTHY \nBristol/Stroud based Folk band Craven perform traditional ballads with crafted arrangements. Their genre bending soundworld takes influence from punk\, electronic dance and classical chamber music. \nApproaching the heavy themes of traditional folk – life\, death\, war and poverty – with irony and wry wit\, and finding queer and contemporary ideas in old songs\, and bringing out new meanings for new contexts. \nTheir debut release\, “Baby Vs Crow” exemplifies this tongue in cheek attitude. A mixtape consisting of 6 traditional folk songs\, it showcases their breadth of sound from the bright\, punk-lead “Arthur McBride”\, to the darker “Crow on the Cradle” with synth-like arpeggiation. \nCraven is composed of Will Bremner (Melodeon/Concertina)\, Elian Moisey (Double Bass/Viola da Gamba)\, and Rhiannon Takel (Fiddle/Mandola).

SUMMARY:15 November: Chantal Lyons-The Return of Britain's Wild Boar @ 1930
DESCRIPTION:Big\, messy and mysterious – crossing paths with a wild boar can conjure fear and joy in equal measure. Driven to extinction seven hundred years ago\, a combination of the species’ own tenacity and illegal releases from the 1980s has seen several populations of this beast of myth begin to roam English and Scottish woods once more. \nTheir habitat-regenerating actions may benefit a host of other wildlife; but unlike beavers\, these ecosystem engineers remain unloved by many. Why is there no clamour to reintroduce them across the land? And\, with the few boar in England threatened by poaching and culling\, why are we not doing more to prevent their re-extinction? \nChantal Lyons moved to the boar’s stronghold of the Forest of Dean to get up close and personal with this complex\, intelligent and quirky species. And she met with people across Britain and beyond who welcome them – or want them gone. From Toulouse and Barcelona where they are growing in number and boldness\, to the woods of Kent and Sussex where they are fading away again\, to Inverness-shire where re-wilders embrace their presence\, join Chantal as she reveals what it might take for us to coexist with wild boar. \n  \nChantal is a writer and naturalist\, with a background in social and environmental sciences. By day\, she is a science communicator at Mindfully Wired Communications. She previously worked for the Marine Stewardship Council. Chantal’s book Groundbreakers was sparked when she first went to the Forest of Dean in 2014 to interview local residents about their experiences of living with wild boar\, for what she thought would never become more than a Masters dissertation. But the story of this myth-like creature and its return to Britain took hold of her – and has never let go

SUMMARY:10 November: Simeon Walker Pianist & Composer - Imprints Autumn Tour @ 1530
DESCRIPTION:Prolific UK-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene\, regularly performing and touring across the UK and Europe. He has supported a variety of artists including Neil Cowley\, LYR\, Submotion Orchestra\, S. Carey\, Loscil\, Erland Cooper & Niklas Paschburg\, and performed notable live sets at Latitude & Timber Festivals. \nHis music is regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3\, BBC 6Music\, Classic FM\, Scala Radio\, KEXP & Soho Radio\, with his music receiving listening figures in excess of 30 million streams across platforms\, and a recent release\, ‘Reverie’\, featuring on the first official Piano Day compilation by the LEITER label\, alongside Nils Frahm\, Olafur Arnalds and Chilly Gonzales. He also founded and continues to curate Brudenell Piano Sessions: an intimate and varied live music series highlighting the diverse music being composed and performed on the piano\, hosted at Leeds’ iconic Brudenell Social Club. \nSimeon’s recent release ‘Imprints 1 & 2’ is an EP series representing a return to the introspective piano-based instrumentals that first thrust him into the limelight. Featuring a set of piano miniatures representing everyday fleeting moments and brief snapshots in time\, his music and live performances reflect the extremes of human experience – gentle\, calm and still at times; powerful\, boisterous and flowing at others\, delivered alongside wry stories and anecdotes\, with the aim of breaking down the barrier between performer and audience\, creating the opportunity for real\, genuine connection through music. \nFrom cafes to cathedrals\, music venues to arts centres\, recording studios to a laundrette; in the evening\, the afternoon or lunchtime; over coffee\, a light buffet or BYO drinks; from the big cities and market towns to quiet\, rural spaces surrounded by captivating landscapes – Walker extends a warm invitation to find true connection in a wide variety of performance contexts and spaces\, providing a platform for young and old listeners alike to find stillness\, beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves\, as musical stories are woven with each passionate\, intimate performance.
