This June, York Theatre Royal’s Choir are going to the movies as conductor, broadcaster and concert presenter Gareth Hudson join them on the York Theatre Royal main stage to uncover the secrets behind some of the world’s best screen music.
Audience members will learn what makes “The Bond Sound” as well as the truth behind who’s really singing on screen along with plenty more hidden truths. The Choir will entertain the audience with music from some of the greatest film composers including John Williams, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Carly Simon, Benny and Björn, Taylor Swift, Stephen Sondheim and many more!
York Theatre Royal Choir has been performing regularly since its inception in 2016. Led by Madeleine Hudson (who has been a musical director over many decades, both on Broadway and in the West End), the choir’s committed members attend weekly rehearsals, sing in a range of styles and are a central component of the theatre’s celebrated community productions.
