On 18 January, together with the Britten Sinfonia, she will perform a programme of American music at West Road Concert Hall. It will combine dance rhythms, traditional hymn tunes, poetry and jazz, focusing on the music of Aaron Copland, arguably the father of American music.
Connolly, who trained at London’s Royal College of Music, will also give a talk at 6.30pm before the concert starts at 7.30pm. Join her at the purpose-built concert venue West Road Concert Hall; tickets for the evening are £5-£30.
