Jazz vocalist Kelley Suttenfield is set to return to Acton this Christmas for a special evening of seasonal music at St Mary's Church.
Taking place on Saturday 12 December, the candlelit concert will see Suttenfield joined by her jazz ensemble for an intimate performance featuring stylish interpretations of Christmas classics and festive favourites. Organisers are also hinting at the possibility of a special guest appearance during the evening.
Set within the historic surroundings of St Mary's Church on The Mount, the concert promises a warm and atmospheric start to the festive season. Alongside jazz arrangements of well-loved Christmas songs, there may even be an opportunity for audience members to join in during parts of the performance.
Originally from the United States and now based in London, Kelley has built an international reputation for her rich, resonant voice and expressive interpretations. She has performed at leading jazz venues including The Iridium and Jazz at Kitano in New York and The Pheasantry in London, as well as appearing at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club with the New York All Stars featuring Harry Allen. Her credits also include performances at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and reaching the finals of the NYC Jazzmobile Vocal Jazz Competition.
She will be joined by a distinguished group of musicians featuring Stefanos Tsourelis on guitar, Ben Croft on piano, Martin Young on bass and Alex Babic on drums.
A licensed bar will be available throughout the evening, adding to what organisers describe as a magical night of music, seasonal charm and festive spirit.
An early bird ticket offer is available until 15 November.
