Kingston Recital

A huge thanks to all those who attended the recital in Kingston on Monday. As the concluding recital of the series Alissa + Litsa drew to a close a wonderful season of concerts at All Saints. With a combination of classic piano sonatas and contemporary violin works the duo demonstrated their versatility and virtuosity as well as their fresh approach to programming. The recital featured Peter Seabourne's 'A Music Beginning' and Boris Pigovat's 'The Silent Music' which the audience rapturously applauded.

Special thanks to Keith Long and his staff for all their help and assistance on the day and to Basil Whiffin for the photography.
