Sultry CONCERT Friday 3 July

Amy Tress

To suit the heatwave there's a concert from two continents on Friday at the Vera Fletcher Hall where two talented young prize winning musicians, Amy Tress, (violin- photo) and Adam Crowther (piano), are joined by Brazilian guitarist Pepe Barcellos. They will play music from the Americas and Europe, including Tom Jobim (the bossa nova king), Piazolla (modern tango), Gershwin, Debussy, Ravel and Sarasate's virtuoso piece for violin "Carmen Fantasy".

The Hall has a tradition of providing a venue for young musicians who have trained at the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music and this group of rising young talent is led by local violinist Amy Tress who last year was the soloist in Ravel's Tzigane.

Pepe Barcellos (guitar), Amy Tress (violin) and Adam Crowther (piano): Friday 3rd July at 8.0pm

Continuing the popular Vera Fletcher Hall tradition there will be free admission for children under 16.
Tickets in advance are £10 from Joan Leifer Tel: 0844 8844 8832 and the Pro Shop, 52 High Street, Thames Ditton. Any remaining seats will be sold on the door. The bar will be open from 7.30pm and during the interval with wine, beer, orange and apple juice, tea and coffee.
