SUMMARY:What Shapes a Soul\, Saxophone Concert\, St Mary Magdalene
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome saxophonist Samuel Beddard and accompaniest Jo Foote to perform ‘What Shapes A Soul?’ at St Mary Magdalene Church\, as part of the church’s ‘Sunday Sessions’ concert series. \nThis recital project explores spirituality in music and takes the listener on a journey from American gospel and spiritual hymns to their roots in African folk music. This performance at Cottingham Church is part of a national tour that kicked off at Selby Abbey in Yorkshire on 26 July. Samuel will be performing on both tenor and soprano sax. \nOpening with the music of the present day\, Steven Banks’ monumental Come As You Are integrates the religious hymns of gospel and Romantic classical music\, a piece given its UK premiere by Samuel and Jo in 2023. The programme moves through the soundscapes of gospel and soul\, before progressing into New Orleans jazz and African spiritual. The concert closes with the Suite after Abel Selaocoe\, exploring Selaocoe’s unique musical voice and bringing African traditional music to new audiences. \nConcert details\nDoors open at 3pm for a glass of fizz and canapes\, which are included in the £10 ticket price. The music starts at 3.20pm and will finish around 5pm\, with a 20 minute interval. For tickets\, please contact Angela Preston-Jones on email cottinghamchurch@gmail.com\, mobile 07594 682671. Profits from the concert will go to the church. \n \nPerformer biographies\nSamuel Beddard is a London-Midlands based saxophonist\, arranger and multi-instrumentalist\, specialising in music influenced by classical\, folk and jazz styles.
