AWARD-winning concert harpist Keziah Thomas will perform a varied programme of music at St Luke's Church, Simonsbath, this Saturday (May 19) at 7.30pm as part of the Simonsbath Festival. Keziah, who has performed at New York's Carnegie Hall to rave reviews, has a wide ranging repertoire and is just as at home playing popular, folk and ragtime as she is playing new works by up-and-coming young artists.

Her recital at St Luke's includes a world premiere of Variations on Rule Britannia, by James Young, in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, as well as a traditional Irish folk tune and pieces by Fauré, Saint-Saëns and Villa-Lobos.Tickets cost £10 (student/unemployed concessions £7.50) and include wine and light refreshments during the interval.
