Jazz at The Chapel: John Pearce/Tommy Scott/Will Harris

This Event Takes Place @ Chapel Arts, Cheltenham (Chapel Arts, Knapp Road (Near St. James Square), Cheltenham. GL50 3QQ)

Violinist, John Pearce, is an internationally renowned jazz and classical musician. He has performed in venues throughout the world, closer to home at the Royal Albert Hall, on radio and television, and has given world premières of works by composers such as Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. As a soloist, he has performed concertos by Bach, Bruch, Beethoven and Brahms and has given duo recitals with pianist and composer Motoki Hirai. His artistry and passion come to the fore in his dazzling jazz performances. “He extracts a gloriously heart-warming quality from his instrument, playing with the utmost tenderness” (The Guardian). “John Pearce soloed ecstatically … furiously inventive throughout” (JazzWise). His latest album with jazz pianist, David Newton, is receiving outstanding acclaim.

On piano this evening, John will be joined by Tommy Scott on piano, who is fast gaining a reputation throughout the UK for his spectacular performances. On double bass, Will Harris’s dynamic playing is in high demand with the likes of David Newton, Alan Barnes, Simon Spillett and Tina May.
