Sir Willard White explores the life, story and repertoire of Paul Robeson in a captivating celebration of a 20th century icon, whose energy and integrity raised awareness of equality and human rights. Featuring the Pavão String Quartet and Guy Barker on the trumpet, this brand new show includes negro spirituals, British folk songs, and classic early jazz songs as well as tailor-made arrangements of more popular songs from the Paul Robeson songbook, including 'Ol' Man River'. "In Willard White's magnificent portrait of Paul Robeson it was less a case of the performer taking on the role of his subject than of two great men emerging side by side in shared musical artistry" Jersey Evening Post Tickets £21.50, £19.50
