A Tapestry of Life - Workshop and Concert
Jessa Liversidge returns to Leslie Town Hall on Saturday 31st May with music that's sure to touch the heart!
About A Tapestry of Life - Workshop and Concert
Songs from Carole King's classic album 'Tapestry', interspersed with original songs inspired by Andrea Brown's 'Life, Love, Loss'. Universal themes of love and friendship, situations and journeys, with music that's sure to touch the heart, all performed by Dundee-born and Yorkshire-based Jessa Liversidge.
The performance includes well-known and loved songs intermingled with original material, all with themes every human can identify with. Songs include 'You've got a friend', 'So far away', "Will you love me tomorrow' and 'Natural woman' with original song titles including 'Beautiful Day', 'The girl who wasn't enough', 'If only' and 'Crazy'.
In 1971 Carole King released her award-winning album, 'Tapestry', a masterpiece of songwriting with themes of love and friendship that are still so relevant over 50 years later.Thousands of miles away, two sisters were born in Dundee. Jessa moved to Yorkshire at 18, Andrea stayed in Dundee, and although they followed very different pathways, their bond grew stronger as they followed their dreams and went through difficult times such as losing their parents. Andrea was always the family poet, and in 2022 published a book of poetry 'Life, Love, Loss' inspired by her experiences.
LIFT YOUR VOICE WITH JESSA IN THE TAPESTRY OF LIFE WORKSHOP - 3.00 pm
If you enjoy singing, why not buy a combined ticket to take part in a singing workshop with Jessa, with the chance to join in with some of the songs in the evening?
As well as performing, Jessa spends her week leading choirs, singing groups and workshops as well as one-to-one singing teaching. Her regular groups include York Military Wives Choir, Easingwold Community Singers, children's choir Wigginton Singstars, and her dementia-friendly group Singing For All. As a certified vocal health first aider, Jessa knows how to get the best out of voices safely and will happily share plenty of healthy voice tips through the session.
Workshop participants will take part in some useful vocal warm-ups then work with Jessa on some songs linked to the 'a tapestry of life' show - some Carole King and some original work. There is no need to be able to read music, all parts will be taught be ear and the songs will be tailored to whoever takes part. Jessa is known for her encouraging and positive leading style and is very experienced at bringing diverse groups of people together to sing, so the workshop will be suitable for all abilities and levels of experience. Younger singers will be welcomed if accompanied by an adult who would be responsible for them at all times.
Workshop singers will be able to take a break at teatime, then return in the evening to enjoy the show - with an opportunity for those who wish to perform the songs they have learned in the afternoon, as part of the performance.
