Tonight we present an intriguing, award-winning team featuring two of the UK's leading artists, pianist/composer Kate Williams and vocalist/lyricist Georgia Mancio, with a collection of songs, some old some newly co-written, all arranged by Kate for trio, string quartet and voice. Georgia’s credits include work with Bobby McFerrin, Ian Shaw, Liane Carroll, Jason Rebello and her own ReVoice! and Hang Festivals and she has in recent times established herself as both a performer and lyricist of note with her work alongside the double Grammy-winning pianist/composer Alan Broadbent. Kate, a well established and highly respected composer/arranger and music educator, is a previous winner of the John Dankworth Award and has released six CDs with her most recent "Four Plus Three", a collaboration with the brilliant Guastalla String Quartet, being received with considerable acclaim. Their current project "Finding Home", which features not only Kate's wonderful jazz trio but also the aforementioned Guastalla strings, debuted in Autumn 2017 receiving rave reviews, including a prized 4 star review from The Guardian. With her searingly beautiful lyric writing and emotive live performances, Georgia brings a unique addition to what has aptly been described as Kate’s "fully integrated approach" to writing and arranging for jazz trio and string quartet.

The featured musicians tonight, along with Kate and Georgia, will be Oli Hayhurst-bass and David Ingamells-drums alongside John Garner and Marie Schreer-violins, Francis Gallagher-viola and Sergio Serra-cello.
