The concert will be in two halves, each part comprising a joint presentation of the choir and band, namely 'Do you hear the people sing?' from Les Miserables and 'The Grand March' from Aida.
Within each half both groups will perform independently. City of Leicester Singers will sing a medley from Oliver and West Side Story in the first half and, in the second half City of Leicester Singers will sing a selection of opera choruses including: The Villagers Chorus, Anvil Chorus, the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves and The Bell Chorus.
The Leicester South Salvation Army Band will play from its wide ranging repertoire of contemporary and classical music, including selections from both Christian and secular musical shows,
There will be an interval during which time refreshments will be served.
The concert will be conducted by both Richard Archer City of Leicester Singers, and Andrew Piper Leicester South Salvation Army Band, and accompanied by John Pye as well as the Band!
