Our November concert will feature ukulele virtuoso AJ Leonard and cellist Jenny Rowlands

Since multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer AJ Leonard visited Hawaii in 2006 and developed a serious itch for the ‘jumping flea’ he has pretty much become a one-instrument man and one of Australia’s pioneering ukulele players. After attending the VCA, Jenny Rowlands continued her study of the cello overseas and has performed professionally throughout the classical scene in Australia.

Their appreciation of classical music, Tin Pan Alley tunes, Tropicana and music from films combine with AJ’s love of historical fact and Jenny’s classical flare to present concert goers with a musical experience that crosses time zones - combining timeless melodies with an irresistible blend of abandon and precision.

We also have a support act this month - Billy Dettmer. Billy has entertained Australians for many years, most of those years on Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula.

The format of the night will be:

7.45 pm to 8.45pm: Spot and Support acts
8.45pm to 9.00pm: Break
9.00pm to 10.00pm: Main Act - AJ Leonard & Jenny Rowlands

The venue is Ringwood Uniting Church Hall, Station St. The Concert will also be webcast via Zoom. Hall attendance numbers are limited due to Covid restrictions. Pre-purchased tickets are required for both the live and webcast access. Sorry, there will be no door sales.
