The Addison Singers American Themed Summer Concert

---

Jazz Ensemble and Chamber choir join forces for a musical journey

 

Addison Singers are holding a concert – ‘Here, There & Everywhere’ on Saturday 2nd July at 7.30pm
in St. Andrew’s Church, Greyhound Road, W14 9SA. The venue is opposite Normand Road and there is free street parking)

The Addison Chamber Choir and Jazz Ensemble join forces for a programme on the theme Here, There and Everywhere, taking a musical journey across Europe, the United States and the British Isles. The two groups will combine to sing the eponymous song by the Beatles and Kodaly’s Evening Song, and choral numbers will be interspersed with piano duets performed by guest pianist Joanna Korzinek and the evening’s conductor, Matthew Hough.

Enjoying a visit to mainland Europe, the Chamber Choir will perform Sieber’s lively and witty Three Hungarian Songs; the Jazz Ensemble will tantalise with the seductive Girl from Ipanema and wistful Norwegian Wood; and the piano duettists will sparkle with one of Manuel de Falla’s Danses Espagnoles.

Whether by air (Come Fly with Me) or land (Take the A Train), the Jazz Ensemble will transport the audience on a Sentimental Journey to the USA, to the heartlands of jazz, soul and blues (cue Basin Street Blues).

England, Ireland and Scotland are represented by the Irish song She Moved Through the Fair and the Northumbrian air Keel Row; Vaughan Williams’ stylish English folk songs; jazzy versions of A Foggy Day in London Town and A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square; and Bob Chilcott’s esoteric arrangements of Upon Westminster Bridge, Danny Boy and The Skye Boat Song.

The Addison Singers are West London’s biggest group of choirs, (both classical and jazz choirs), formed in 1979, and mainly performing in Chiswick and Hammersmith.
