Come on, get happy! Ol’ Blue Eyes is back, as the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Concert Orchestra presents a swinging salute to the classic movies of Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.
Well, ring-a-ding-ding! She was Hollywood’s first lady of song, the girl whose soaring voice could whirl you over the rainbow or make the whole screen light up with joy. He was the Chairman of the Board: a singer whose charisma broke the bank in Vegas and who made the Great American Songbook swing like never before. And for one night only they’re back – live in Nottingham as the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Concert Orchestra and conductor Richard Balcombe salute the movies of Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.
Naturally, we’re hitting town in style, pairing top vocalists Louise Dearman and Graham Bickley with the original symphonic arrangements to recreate the glamour, the glory and the sheer, irresistible swing of that golden age of the silver screen. They’re all here: songs from High Society, Kiss Me Kate, Easter Parade, Meet Me in St Louis, Guys and Dolls, Pal Joey and of course The Wizard of Oz. You know them, you love them, and they’ve never sounded more alive. Come fly with us tonight!
