Featuring jazz pianist, Gareth Williams, and guests.

Songs from the Shows - performed by the Choral Society.
Chapel and Chamber Choirs perform Bob Chilcott's Jazz Mass (complete).

One of the most intensely creative, dynamic and exciting performers on the UK scene, Gareth Williams has been receiving increasing critical and public acclaim since becoming a professional musician in the early 90's. Described as "jewel of a player... spinning out luminous introductions and codas" by Jazziz Magazine (USA), he has dazzled audiences not only by his virtuoso approach to the piano, but also by his multi-instrumentalist talents on guitar and vocals. We are blessed to have him teaching on our staff, and it's terrific he's agreed to perform for us in this great evening's line-up. Don't miss it!

All welcome.
