The Oxford Players in Kicking Leaves
November 10th, 2009
The fourth presentation at the Arts and Literary Society was made by The Oxford Players in Kicking Leaves. This quartet of musicians gave us an interesting evening of diverse music. They started with 14th century Italian and proceeded through baroque, classical, romantic to modern jazz. The highlight of this section was Rhapsody in Blue played on the piano by Kirsten Johnson, a truly breathtaking performance. Chris Britton, who played various flutes, piccolo and recorder, accompanied Wendy Nieper, a jazz singer turned classical on various items as did Keith Fairbairn on his many percussion instruments.
The evening ended with modern music from around the world and included an item of music for pieces of wood – literally played on various thicknesses of sticks.
The evening was sponsored by Countywide Letting s & Property Management of Holland-on-Sea.
