June Concert - the final concert for Kingston Choral Society this season Saturday 20 June 2009 7.30pm
Kingston Choral Society's new director of music, Graham Ross, has chosen two favourites from the choral repertoire, Faure's Requiem and Haydn's 'Nelson' Mass for the programme. The Faure will be performed in the version which the composer is said to have preferred - the original version scored for a chamber orchestra. The Haydn Mass pays homage to this great composer in the 200th anniversary year of his death and is again performed in the original version for trumpet and strings.

 Adam Wedd & The Independents  www.myspace.com/adamweddandtheindependents
"Distinguished singer-song writers are hard to come by. Often there is little to separate a busker on the streets of Tottenham Court Road from a multi-platinum artist playing Wembley Arena. What makes Kingston born Adam Wedd stand out from the crowd is his ability to fuse pop in its purest form with jazz inspired melodies. Perhaps his finest attribute is his singing voice which is as British as cups of tea and digestive biscuits. Every hook laden song leaves you recollecting the joys of your early childhood when one would jump in puddles and kick through piles of leaves. Adam plays with a regular assortment of gifted close friends which includes a full backing band and a flute player." -Luke Das For booking please email adamwedd@hotmail.com- you will get a most warm reply!
