Shrewsbury Choral are delighted to bring an ‘Evening of Opera Highlights and Hits from the Musicals’ to Shrewsbury Abbey 7.30pm on 18th October in a programme of music that will include Johann Strauss’ operetta Die Fledermaus, Leonard Bernstein’s operetta Candide and Rodgers and Hammersteins’ The Sound of Music. Shrewsbury Choral will be led by their Musical Director, Dr. Martin Cook, and they will be accompanied by the British Police Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Richard Jenkinson, Musical Director.
Jenny Worley, Chair of Shrewsbury Choral said: “What promises to be a highly-entertaining evening of popular music has only been made possible by the generous support of the Wynn Foundation and from Mr, Mrs Matthews of the Prince Rupert Hotel in Shrewsbury. Their sponsorship is very much appreciated and it has made it possible for our audience to enjoy some golden memories of classic music created many years ago, but which still linger in people’s memories. We are also extremely proud to be accompanied by one of the finest non-professional orchestras in the UK; the award-winning British Police Symphony Orchestra and their wealth of talent and dedication will provide an integral contribution to this fabulous concert”.
Tickets for the performance are available online now (https://www.shrewsburychoral.org.uk/), Pengwern Books, Fish Street, Shrewsbury- 01743 232236; from choir members or on the door on the night.
