A musician who once performed at Notre Dame Cathedral is set to take the stage.

Chris Stanbury, an electronic keyboard artist from Sutton, will play at Picket Twenty Community Centre on Friday, March 20, as part of the KEYS in CONCERT series.

He has made a name for himself on the electronic keyboard circuit and holds a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music from the London College of Music.

Mr Stanbury said: "There's no such thing as a typical week, which is why every engagement is special and unique.

"I might be touring for a few days and then straight into accompanying and teaching."

His career is a blend of performance and education.

Alongside touring, he works as a music examiner for the London College of Music and is deeply involved in teaching and syllabus development.

His examining roles have taken him around the world, providing workshops and presentations for students and teachers alike.

In addition to his performances on the electronic keyboard circuit, Mr Stanbury has played the organ at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, delivered the world premiere of a jazz organ piece at the Royal Academy of Music, and toured the Far East as both a solo artist and session musician.

Mr Stanbury aims to deliver a refreshing and enjoyable programme packed with variety, featuring big band numbers, musical theatre favourites, 60s and 70s tributes, and classical selections.

The concert on March 20 will begin at 8.15pm, with doors opening at 8pm.

Tickets are priced at £10 and include refreshments during the interval.

They can be purchased at the door on the night of the event.
