Next Concert of JLOS
Our spring concert, next year, is based around the theme Day and Night. It will comprise an assortment of solo and chorus numbers from G & S operettas, operas and musicals such as The Nightmare song from Iolanthe, Hush Thee my Baby by Sullivan and Night and Day by Cole Porter. There will be a piano accompaniment.
Concerts of JLOS
Our Spring performance is usually a concert with two performances held in the Studio space at Questors Theatre. It acts as a fund-raising event for the group, but also allows chorus members a chance to perform solo if possible. Various numbers, based on a theme, from G & S and others are performed with piano accompaniment, and members who play other instruments are encouraged to have a go! A compere hosts the evening.
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.
