Hi everyone! So I have been really busy getting the concert organised for April 17th. So much to get done! I have been working on the new material for Bella Sorella, working on the arrangements and running order for Kessenya, deciding on my own solos and getting the arrangements finalised for the duets for me and the wonderful Mary-Jess Leaverland!
Exciting as this is, I'm going to need YOUR help - we need this to be a sell-out event if we are going to turn this into a tour! It would mean a lot to me if you could share this with your friends and family and together lets drum up all the support we need to make this event a real success!

Ooo excited! Set list for A Night To remember is done and I have given the lovely Mary-Jess the music for the songs she will be joining in with Kessenya!! I can't wait!
Now for scripting, costumes, sound equipment, refining Bella Sorella...oh and did I mention selling some tickets!! Blimey there's a lot to do, but I'm really hoping this show is going to be a sell-out

John,
Can you give some information about Kessenya and Bella Sorella? I am not familiar with either group. Mary-Jess and Phillippa also, what an evening! You are so fortunate to be in the UK and able to see all these fantastic artists. I am envious!

[John]

Kessenya is a vocal and instrumental group, for which Phillippa is musical director. She can be seen on both piano and violin in this video.



I don't know the other girls (yet )

Here is their website - www.seraphinamusic.com/-kessenya-home-.html

Bella Sorella is a violin duo comprising Phillippa and her younger sister Isabelle

I have travelled many miles to see both Phillippa and Mary-Jess individually. They are two of my favourite artists and I count them both as personal friends. I would have travelled just about anywhere in the country to see the two of them together, but this venue is less than an hour from home.

Phillippa has announced that this will be her last appearance as a classical crossover soloist. She will continue to be a part of Kessenya and Bella Sorella but she is branching into another genre for her personal career.

The event is now listed on the Mary-Jess official website
