A NEW FACE ON THE SCENE

Abaco will have a new face on the cultural scene just in time for Christmas. Jennifer Hudson, a British born and trained violinist who is now a naturalised Bahamian, is well known on the musical scene in Nassau. Abaconians heard Mrs Hudson perform at the 3rd Annual Abaco Art Festival at the Abaco Beach Hotel where she serenaded guests with relaxing music while they perused the exhibits.

Mrs Hudson is the founder and concertmaster of the Bahamas Concert Orchestra, which performs a yearly concert season t Government House and a very popular series in the Montagu Gardens. The orchestra has thrilled Hope Town and Marsh Harbour audiences during their two visits here. In addition to her work with the orchestra, Mrs Hudson has a busy schedule performing at hundreds of weddings annually and providing dinner music for private parties and business conventions in all the major hotels both as soloist and with her chamber music ensemble "Interlude". Recently she has performed before HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, the Lord Mayor of London, former US President George Bush and also several movie stars at the grand opening of the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island.

In addition to performing, Mrs Hudson also teaches violin. She has taught string classes both privately and at Queens College and St Andrews School and to the Royal Bahamas Police Force Band. She has also recorded at Compass Point Studios for both foreign and Bahamian artists.

At the beginning of December, Mrs Hudson will be taking up residence in Abaco and will be available to play for weddings, receptions, business functions and private parties. Her diverse repertoire includes light classical, popular, Broadway hits and devotional music. She may be contacted at 367-4009.
