The Bramley & Little London Music Festival returns to St James’ Church next month

Three evenings of fantastic performances will take place from June 11-13.

On Thursday, June 11, hear a capella group Apollo5 and euphonium supremo David Childs.

With a repertoire ranging from retro jazz and pop to classical arrangements, Apollo5 is equally at home in concert halls and music festivals.

The group is part of the charitable foundation Voces Cantabiles Music, involved with an innovative education programme that aims to inspire creativity through music and reaches 20,000 young people annually.

A grandson and a son of brilliant euphonium players, David Childs is one of the finest brass soloists of his generation and in 2000 became the first euphonium soloist to win the brass final of BBC Young Musician of the Year.

David is now an associate of the Royal College of Music, and a professor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the Birmingham Conservatoire.

A proud product of the British brass band movement, David has performed with many of the world’s top ensembles, including Brighouse and Rastrick, Black Dyke and Cory.

On Friday, June 12, don’t miss pianist Maite Aguirra and harpist Claire Jones.

A Spanish-born pianist and conductor, Maite is based in London – director of the music academy in the Spanish School in London, music director of Operaview and the British Spanish Society and conductor of BLP and Legal Harmony – and during 2014 worked with great success as a chorusmaster for Grange Opera.

Claire Jones began her musical education at the age of seven. Excelling at the violin, piano and harp, she graduated as a harpist from the Royal College of Music with First Class honours in 2007, and from the Royal Academy of Music in 2009.

In 2007, she was appointed official harpist to the Prince of Wales, a role that she held until 2011, making her the longest serving Royal harpist to date.

She regularly performed for the Royal Family, and in April 2011, played for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at their wedding reception in Buckingham Palace.

Finally, on Saturday, June 13, hear young violinist Shoshanah Sievers and the Joseph Henry Jazz Collective.

Still only 13 years of age, Shoshanah started Suzuki violin when she was almost three. By six, she had begun to compose and to teach herself the piano. At seven she made her solo violin debut.

In 2010 Shoshanah joined the junior department at the Royal College of Music, where she studies composition, piano and violin.

At 11, Shoshanah won the Hugh Bean Memorial Competition for violinists in the junior department at the Royal College playing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto; passed her Grade 8 Piano examination with distinction; and became the youngest ever winner of the Joan Weller Composition Competition at the Royal College.

The Joseph Henry Jazz Collective was formed in 2014.

Joseph Henry started to play the drums at the age of eight. Jazz is his passion, and he regularly sits-in at Ronnie Scott’s, the Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho and the Hippodrome Casino.

He’s joined by Dan Giles and classically trained pianist Ken Harratt.

Tickets are each evening are £12.50 for adults, £6 for children.
