The Pheasantry, Chelsea

A celebration of André Previn, Jacques Loussier, Michel Legrand and Doris Day
Time: 7.00pm
Tickets: 
£20

A celebration of four musical legends - André Previn, Jacques Loussier, Michel Legrand and Doris Day, who all passed away in 2019.

André Previn made his name as a superlative jazz pianist and musical arranger prior to his success as a classical musician, most famously as principal conductor of The London Symphony Orchestra. Jacques Loussier took classical music audiences by storm with his jazz interpretations of J S Bach. Michel Legrand was a musical polymath who composed the seminal score for The Umbrellas of Cherbourg as well as "Windmills of My Mind" from The Thomas Crown Affair. Dominic has a particular affinity for these three artists as, like him, they all straddled classical music and jazz. There will also be a homage to the incomparable movie star and singer Doris Day.

The Pheasnatry trio features Andrew Cleyndert (double bass) and Colin Oxley (guitar).
