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:16 January: Cornwall Climate Care presents #ClimateScam? Who's Shaping the Climate Debate?
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

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.

SUMMARY:24 October: Miranda Sykes\, Jim Causley and John Palmer - The Sabine Baring-Gould Project
DESCRIPTION:JIM CAUSLEY AND MIRANDA SYKES PRESENT GHOSTS\, WEREWOLVES AND COUNTRYFOLK – THE SONGS AND STORIES OF SABINE BARING-GOULD \nSix-time BBC Folk Awards nominee Jim Causley and Miranda Sykes of Award-Winning Show of Hands and Daphne’s Flight come together for the first time to celebrate the centenary of a Victorian superstar through his music and stories. \nSabine Baring-Gould inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula\, Sherlock Holme’s Hound and Bernard Shaw’s Doolittle. He brought Ghostly Aunt Eliza\, wretched heroine Mehalah and Norse hero Grettir to life. He mentored folk song collector Cecil Sharp – and wrote Onward Christian Soldiers \nHe was a giant of his time. He was a top ten best-selling novelist; the writer of what is still the go-to book on werewolves; author of a nerve-tingling book of ghost stories; storyteller of the Norse Myths of Iceland; compiler of a classic Dartmoor history book and composer of numerous popular hymns. \nBut he says the most important thing he did in his life was to collect songs from the countryfolk of Devon and Cornwall. A pioneer collector\, starting a decade before Sharp and Vaughan Williams\, he amassed more than 2000 songs. \nMiranda\, Jim and narrator John Palmer\, director of the critically-acclaimed Vaughan Williams anniversary “From Pub to Pulpit” Cathedral tour\, interweave some of those songs with anecdotes from his own astonishing life and stories from his impressive array of books. \nThis tribute aims to make audiences smile\, gasp and sing along as they hear how:\n\nA ragamuffin fiddler’s favourite tune lived on in his instrument after he died (Bold General Wolfe) \nA cottage was built in a day on the moor for a penniless newly married couple (Cottage Well Thatched With Straw) \nThe eerie mysteries of Wil O’ The Wisp and his graveyard trips (The Blue Flame) \nBram Stoker took ideas from Sabine for Dracula  \nAnd ….. How Sabine became Sherlock Holmes’s God Father.\n\nBaring Gould was born in Exeter on 28 January 1834 and died in January 1924\, the son of the Lord of the Manor of Lew Trenchard near Okehampton. He was at school in Warwick and a schoolteacher in Sussex. He then became a vicar in Yorkshire\, Essex and Devon and devoted his time to his love of folk music\, country traditions and the macabre… \nJim has been a long-term admirer of Baring-Gould and includes many of his songs in his popular shows based on songs of Dartmoor.  \n“It’s fascinating to see how many songs he collected found their way into his Dartmoor books.  It’s also quite eerie to see how many other songs fit the mood of his books on ghosts\, werewolves\, myths and his classic Gothic novels”\, he said. \nMiranda added: “We’re really excited about having found a unique and enjoyable way of bringing all of his work together in a show which we think will engage audiences and leave them fascinated and entertained.” \nJohn Palmer said: “It’s surprising that someone who was such a prominent public figure in his day has almost disappeared today. We hope that this show will introduce many more people to Sabine and restore some of the credit he deserves”.

SUMMARY:13 October: Taiko Drumming Performance @ 1445
DESCRIPTION:Following the extremely successful workshop in June 2023\, the Taiko Drummers  are returning to Calstock Arts by popular demand to give another workshop followed by a performance of their own. \n(https://www.taikosouthwest.org.uk/) \nTaiko drums have been around for a couple of thousand years\, traditionally used in the background to keep the beat for dancers and singers during festivals or creating the sound effects offstage in Noh and Kabuki theatre.

Since then\, the art of Taiko drumming has spread across the globe\, including to the South West of England. \n\nThe performance\, which will consist of two 25-minute sets\, is the first to be given by Tano at Calstock Arts.  It is recommended that children be at least 8 years old to attend the performance. \n https://vimeo.com/598854061 \nhttps://vimeo.com/609717122 \nThere is also a workshop in the morning where over 12’s & adults can learn to drum.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT 13 October: Taiko Drumming Workshop @ 1100-1300
DESCRIPTION:Following the extremely successful workshop in June 2023\, the Taiko Drummers  are returning to Calstock Arts by popular demand to give another workshop followed by a performance of their own. \n(https://www.taikosouthwest.org.uk/) \nTaiko drums have been around for a couple of thousand years\, traditionally used in the background to keep the beat for dancers and singers during festivals or creating the sound effects offstage in Noh and Kabuki theatre. As a performance art\, it is relatively new\, having been developed in the 1950s by the Japanese jazz drummer Daihachi Oguchi. Since then\, the art of Taiko drumming has spread across the globe\, including to the South West of England. \nThe workshop\, which lasts 2 hours\,  gives the participants an opportunity to learn some of the history and background of Taiko drumming\, get to grips with the basics of drumming and try out some simple drills. The workshop culminates in everyone learning a fun choreographed piece to play together.  Whilst not marketed as therapeutic\, there are many benefits to Taiko drumming: it’s great physical exercise and good “brain gym”. It’s also a lot of fun and can result in a real sense of achievement. \nhttps://vimeo.com/598854061 \nhttps://vimeo.com/609717122 \n Quotes from previous workshop participants:\n“A fantastic day. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to come again.  It’s definitely something I could get into”.\n“We had a great time. Thank you for the warm welcome. If we weren’t so far away\, we’d definitely join you more regularly”.
