Next Concert of JLOS
Our spring concert, this year, is based around the numbers found at the beginning of acts, although we might have one or two found elsewhere for luck! It will comprise an assortment of solo and chorus items from G & S, operettas, operas and musicals. There will be a piano accompaniment.
Concerts of JLOS
Our Spring performance is usually a concert (Soiree) which, nowadays, is a traditional concert.
In previous years, the cast used to serve the audience a light buffet in the interval and there was a pay bar for drinks. Raffle tickets could be purchased before the show or during the interval. It thus served the Society as a fund-raising event. Recently, however, and going forward, it has been/will be a traditional concert held in The Studio at Questors, and still acts as a fund-raiser for the group.
Varied Content
The concerts can be whole shows such as Cox and Box/The Zoo/Trial by Jury or a series of songs or numbers related to a theme (for example "By George" our 2014 Soiree). This provides the group with opportunities to sing non G & S repertoire such as modern musicals or old time music hall. It also allows members who do not normally sing principal roles in our main show, to to perform a solo. The programme of our 2008 concert "Celestial Delights" is shown below.
