London born and Hastings raised, award-winning singer-pianist Liane Carroll is one of the UK’s greatest musical treasures. A soulful, emotive singer, she is capable of reducing listeners to tears with her heart-breaking ability to inhabit a lyric or of making an audience jump for joy with her breath-taking vocal virtuosity. What really makes Carroll stand out however is the way that she delivers every song as though she wrote it. A classically trained pianist since she was three, she possesses a true musicality that lifts her interpretations into the realms of art in their own right and to hear her sing even the best known standard or the most hackneyed pop song is to hear that song afresh.
For this concert, Liane is joined by one of the best and brightest young British jazz singers, Ruby Gascoyne, to share her stage and sing solo classics and inventive duets.
