20 June Mozart to Motown via Getz with Polly Gibbons and Paul Booth

tracy.crowther

Festival Chamber Orchestra
Conductor – Stephen Barlow
Voice – Polly Gibbons
Tenor Saxophone – Paul Booth
Oboe – Ian Crowther

Mozart to Motown builds upon one of our previous concerts, Bach to Bowie, which proved highly successful. We are delighted that Polly Gibbons can join us, together with superb saxophonist Paul Booth, hence via Getz, as Paul will perform ‘Her’ from the iconic Focus Album by Stan Getz. The programme will include some popular and lesser known Classical pieces together with some famous popular tunes of the 1960’s finishing with the Motown Sound.

Polly Gibbons has been described ‘as a jazz talent whose voice is also steeped in vintage R & B with shades of Aretha Franklin’ ( The Jazz times).
Paul Booth’s tenor sax soloing is fluent and elegant, unhurried with no sense of bluster. The Concert promises an exciting mix of styles with some wonderful Mozart and Salieri through to Dusty, Procol Harum and The Motown Sound.
Programme to Include:
W A Mozart. Symphony no 29 (First and final movs.)
J Haydn. Symphony no 44 (second mov.)
W Lloyd Webber. The Moon
C. King. Going Back (arr McDermott)
G Booker. Whiter Shade Of pale (arr. McDermott)
A Salieri. La Veneziana (First mov)
R Charles. Georgia on my mind (arr Matthews)
S. Getz. Her
M Gaye. Dancing in the Street (arr, McDermott)

The Festival Chamber Orchestra has become renowned for presenting concerts which explore a diverse, innovative repertoire which still maintain the crucial element of being highly enjoyable and entertaining.

30 May A Musical Tapestry with David Rees Williams – Piano  & Iain Ballamy – Tenor Sax

tracy.crowther

David Rees Williams – Piano
Iain Ballamy – Tenor Saxophone
Ian Crowther – Oboe

David Rees Williams is renowned for his unique reinterpretations of classical composers such as JS Bach, H. Purcell and G. F. Handel amongst many others. Tonight’s Concert will feature a reworking of some classical works together with some Jazz inspired pieces, so you may hear Bach, Corelli and Purcell fused to Michel LeGrand.
Iain Ballamy’s saxophone playing is absolutely stunning, his sound akin to that of the great Stan Getz. Iain is equally at home with intricate jazz improvisation or playing a slow ballad and brings to both his beautifully crafted solos. Iain and David have performed together on a number of occasions, most recently in the Crypt of Canterbury Cathedral during the 2019 Canterbury Festival and their collaborations are always musically highly memorable.
Ian Crowther on Oboe brings another tone colour to the mix and the Concert will take the listener on a journey of differing musical styles, textures and colours, in essence creating a Musical Tapestry.

‘Rooted in Canterbury the FCO Is one of the great musical assets of the area.’ Dr R.Dunn
