BSO does Rodgers and Hammerstein

12:00pm Monday 30th January 2012 in Stage By

Join the full Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and four fabulous singers for a wonderful evening of music and songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein.

From The King and I to Carousel, from The Sound of Music to Oklahoma! the songs of the most successful songwriting duo in the history of musicals never fail to entertain.

To sing this marvellous selection of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s best songs, the Orchestra is joined by four sensational singers, led by Annie Skates, vocal coach for The X Factor, who is joined by performers Janet Mooney, Stephen Weller and James Spilling.

Conductor Pete Harrison, pictured, is in charge of this musical journey, which will whisk audiences up to the hills of Austria with selected classics from The Sound of Music, across to the clambakes of Maine for Carousel and You’ll Never Walk Alone to the South Pacific for Some Enchanted Evening, not forgetting Oh What a Beautiful Morning from the plains of Oklahoma!

The concert will take place on Friday, February 10 at 7.30pm at the Lighthouse, Poole. Tickets are from £9 to £29 and can be booked in advance by calling 0844 4068666 or visiting bsolive.com.
