With pianist Oliver Lallemant
This week, we are delighted to welcome ...
Oliver Lallemant is an incredible musical omnivore who can play pretty much anything on the piano! He trained as a chorister and then then an organist, and runs several of London's leading choirs ... but he's equally at home as a jazz pianist!
Olly has performed at events and parties all over the world with his jazz trio, and can even be heard twice a week serenading diners in the glorious setting of the Ritz hotel's restaurant in London.
On Saturday, Olly will treat us to a set of jazz standards on the piano, before inviting ViolinSchool violinists to join in with the jam! Let's see what happens ... 🙃
Oliver Lallement is the Director of Music at St Stephen’s Dulwich and runs several choirs, including Sloane Square Choral Society, Chelsea Chamber Choir and the Chelsea Arts Club Singers. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists and a Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music.
Oliver trained at Llandaff Cathedral as a chorister, where he sung Howard Blake’s ‘We’re Walking in the Air’ in Welsh on national television, and then later at Wells Cathedral School. He was an organ scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge (2002-5).
