Wednesday 23 October, 7.30pm The Marlowe Theatre Tickets £42.50, £36.50, £29.50 Tickets for this event are available from The Marlowe Box Office only.

Innovative British singer-songwriter, and two-time MOBO award winner, Laura Mvula, visits Canterbury this autumn for a very special Festival performance.

Mvula first sang in church and later with all female a cappella group Black Voices. Since then her career has seen her perform on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage twice, work with legendary producer and composer Nile Rodgers, and sing as part of The Queen’s Birthday Celebrations at The Royal Albert Hall.

Exploring identity, personal dilemmas and social issues, Mvula’s 2013 debut Sing to the Moon and 2016 follow up The Dreaming Room, garnered a multitude of award nominations and received wide-spread critical acclaim. Discussing her track Phenomenal Woman, inspired by Maya Angelou, Mvula told The Independent: “I try and depend a lot on the women that I surround myself with, the women that through their own vulnerability and ridiculous strength are still moving mountains and doing extraordinary things every day.”

Ward Thomas

Friday 25 October, 7.30pm The Marlowe Theatre Tickets £42.50, £36.50, £29.50 Tickets for this event are available from The Marlowe Box Office only.

Duo Ward Thomas are leading lights in the UK country scene, alongside the likes of The Shires. As 24 year-old females who have fought their own way to success and as sharp-eyed songwriters who have long looked outwards for inspiration, they tap in to the zeitgeist without even trying.

Restless Minds, the follow-up to 2016’s chart-topping Cartwheels, finds the Hampshire sisters on scorching form.

Observational and opinionated, it documents their coming of age in an era of anxiety and the impact of social media on a generation for which ‘the truth’ has become a tenuous term. There are songs on the album which touch on women in the workplace and #MeToo, others explore mental health issues and their relationship as twins, growing up and growing apart.

Saturday 26 October, 7.30pm The Marlowe Theatre Tickets £46.50, £38.50, £31.50 Tickets for this event are available from The Marlowe Box Office only.

We are thrilled to welcome Jack Savoretti to Canterbury Festival celebrating Singing to Strangers, his sixth studio album and kicking off his autumn tour. Since the release of Between The Minds in 2007, the English-Italian singer-songwriter has been rising to prominence with his unique blend of poetic folk and big-band ballads. Released in March, Singing to Strangers has received glowing reviews with hit single Candlelight selected as BBC Radio 2’s Record of The Week, and the album achieving number one in the charts for six weeks.

Building on the success of his previous two gold discs - Written in Scars and Sleep No More - Savoretti’s newest work explores the musician’s heritage, giving thanks and paying homage to the French, Spanish and Italian music of the Fifties and Sixties. With songs co-written with the likes of Bob Dylan and Kylie Minogue, and strings scored by David Rossi (Goldfrapp, Coldplay), Singing to Strangers is a unique and beguiling rhapsody, packed full of choral harmonies, sinuous guitar and heartfelt rasp. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to experience a must-see artist live in the heart of Canterbury.

Frisian Symphonic Wind Orchestra Conductor Jouke Hoekstra with Jess Gillam (Saxophone)

Saturday 26 October, 7.30pm Cathedral Nave Tickets £30, £25, £20, £15

In an exciting international collaboration, multi award-winning saxophonist Jess Gillam joins the Frisian Symphonic Wind Orchestra to present the world premiere of The Keys of Canterbury by John Harle, a work commissioned by Canterbury Festival.

The Keys of Canterbury is based loosely on a work by Gabrielli (1554-1612), which was the ﬁrst piece of music to call for passages played either quietly or loudly. It was also spatial, requiring two quartets of brass instruments to be separated by some distance. John’s new work reflects these qualities, capitalising on the cathedral setting and the specific forces of the FSWO in a triumph of tonality over dissonance. The programme also contains works by Brahms, Fauré and Shostakovitch, as well as short pieces by leading Dutch composers and works from Jess’s album Rise.

The Festival is delighted to welcome the FSWO which was established in 1983 by tonight’s conductor Jouke Hoekstra. Repeat winners at the World Music Contest, they record prolifically and have toured the world. International collaboration and participation in festivals is key to their work, so they are thrilled to be premiering John Harle’s composition tonight.

Soloist Jess Gillam is one of the brightest stars in music today. A simply phenomenal player and passionate ambassador for music education, chart-topping Jess was recently appointed as BBC Radio 3’s youngest ever presenter. She records exclusively for Decca Classics, and is Patron for Awards for Young Musicians. Sure to be a musical highlight – book early!
