Ok so the real front page news in this weekend's East Anglian Daily Times is that, local hero, nurse Will Pooley's been awarded a much deserved MBE, but we're delighted to see Woodbridge Arts and Music 2015 get front page banner headline on the weekend edition too! A massive thank you to all at the EADT!!!
Woodbridge Art and Music'c friends at Aldeburgh Music and Suffolk Coastal District Council have announced a competition for an outdoor sculpture for children at Snape Maltings.
The aim is to offer a vantage point across the marshes at Snape and a new view over this flat and beautiful landscape. This new piece will sit in the landscape amongst other works by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Sarah Lucas and Alison Wilding. Submissions will be made in the form of sketches and a 200 word description of the entrant’s vision. The competition is open to all and the organisers encourage entrants to think broadly and creatively whilst paying close attention to the Equality Act 2010. The winning entry may take the form of a viewing platform, an optical device, a moving structure or a technological marvel. The sculpture must be self-supporting and designed so that it can be put up and taken down annually, with the prospect of touring the region in the future. Roger Wright, Chief Executive at Aldeburgh Music, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful sculpture, inspired by the tradition of children climbing on the site’s existing artworks. We hope that, after its initial siting at Snape Maltings, other destinations will host the new work and that it will tour the area”. A shortlist of three entrants will be awarded £1,000 each to develop their idea further. They will be given time with a structural engineer to help them evolve their scheme into a feasible design. A panel of distinguished judges will select a winner, who will be awarded a commission of £15,000. The winning design will be installed in time for the 69th Aldeburgh Festival in June 2016. The winning designer will have a construction budget of £50,000 and will be supported by the competition organisers throughout the process. Competition brief, pdf document of the Equality Act 2010 plus context photographs can be viewed and downloaded at: http://www.aldeburgh.co.uk/designcompetition

Woodbridge Art and Music 2015 presents Saycet (Live) (Fr) and DJ Ben Osborne followed by the Heavenly Social club night. The Social, 5 Little Portland Street, London W1W 7JD 7pm-10pm (followed Heavenly Social until 1am). Free Entry all night “Paris’ Saycet conjures enigmatic, glacial electronic textures as fragile as frost on a badger’s beard, and fit for soundtracking a Nordic noir crime series.” (The Guardian, March 2015) Having wowed critics at his London debut show at Noise of Art in March, Saycet returns to play the first London event being organised in the run-up to the Woodbridge Art and Music Event 2015. The event, being held at the Social on Friday 15 May, will see Pierre Lefeuvre jet in from Paris to join Noise of Art’s Ben Osborne for an early evening session, followed by the Heavenly Jukebox club night. A multi faceted artist, as well as creating synaps tickling electronic music, Lefeuvre, is the sound designer for the Pompidou Centre in Paris, often creates music for french national radio station France Culture and shows on Arte, ZDF and the BBC. His music for commercials includes the campaign for Audi TT. His show tonight will offer a rare chance to see the critically praised live audio visual show in an up close and personal venue. This is part of a series of events being organised by the Woodbridge Art and Music Event. “Pierre Lefuevre is the chief sound designer for the Pompidou Centre in Paris, a man whose every waking hour is dominated by the way we hear things. It's no surprise, then, to discover that the producer's own work is a feast for the ears.” (Clash Magazine) Thank you to everyone who came out for the music over the bank holiday weekend.
