Clive Conway Productions Presents
‘An Evening with Sir Willard White'
and the Kymaera Guitar Duo
The highly successful ‘An Audience with…’ series continues with Sir Willard White and is now available for theatres to book.
One of the best-loved and most versatile opera stars of the last 40 years, Sir Willard White's illustrious career has taken him to the most prestigious opera houses and concert halls throughout the world.
Now audiences have the opportunity to share an evening with Sir Willard as he reminisces about his life on stage & screen and sings some of the songs that have been important to him. From the Nat King Cole of his youth in Jamaica, through the first truly complete Grammy winning recording of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess in 1976 conducted by Lorin Maaazel - he also salutes the songs that made the Bass-Baritone singer Paul Robeson famous in the 1920s and ‘30s.
Sir Willard will be accompanied by the Kymaera guitar duo comprising Shane Hill and Simon James who have been performing together for over twenty years. Highlights of the partnership have included appearing at Ronnie Scott's with the classical vocal legend Maria Ewing as well as festivals with the late UK jazz vocal legend Frank Holder who fronted the John Dankworth Seven Band along with Cleo Laine.
