Hope and Harmony - Starfish Concert

Hope and Harmony - Join Starfish for an evening of inspirational music and celebration

South African born pianist Renée Reznek, international flautist Nancy Ruffer and the Queen of Afro-Jazz Pinise Saul accompanied by jazz composer and musician Simon Wallace will be giving a concert on the 2 July for Starfish Greathearts Foundation that will be held in the Rosslyn Hill Chapel in Hampstead.

Renée often performs locally and has earned a reputation for lucid and sensitive interpretations of 20th and 21st century piano music. She will be performing a new composition by Neo Muyanga in honour of Nelson Mandela in his anniversary month. The concert will also include the first performance of PMB Impromptu composed for Renee Reznek by renowned South African composer Kevin Volans.

Nancy specializes in contemporary flute repertoire and has given numerous first performances in Britain and abroad. Alongside South African works, her repertoire on 2 July will include Syrinx by Claude Debussy Fantasie by Gabriel Fauré, Summer Music by Richard Rodney Bennett, Out of the Cool by David Heath.

The great South African vocalist, Pinise Saul, is a remarkable singer who fuses African traditional harmonies and contemporary rhythms to create a style that is uniquely hers.

Simon Wallace is an internationally renowned composer and pianist and a familiar face on the London jazz scene, appearing regularly at Ronnie Scotts Club, the 606 Club and the Vortex with some of Britain's finest musicians.

It promises to be a very special evening and all funds raised will go towards Starfish programmes providing education, healthcare and protection to orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa.
