Kym Purling (’89)
Sunday 24 March, world traveller Kym Purling ('89) was back in Adelaide to perform two concerts in one. Kym is an extraordinary jazz pianist and amongst his sensational accompanying musicians were trumpeter Josh Chenoweth ('15) and trombone tutor Alex Taylor. It was a privilege to enjoy these world class musicians in performance at the Morialta Uniting Church, supported by Brighton Pianos with a grand piano for Kym to play. It was also a pleasure to catch up a number of Westminster Old Scholars and past families, including Kym‘s family - former School Chaplain David Purling, wife Judith and Kym’s sister Catherine (’85).
