The concert at the Central Methodist Church, Saltergate, on Wednesday, March 19, has Time as its theme.

Selections such as “Oh what a beautiful morning”, “Rhythm of Life” and “Mad dogs and Englishmen” will feature alongside music from the society’s forthcoming stage production “The Yeomen of the Guard” together with items from “The Gondoliers and “The Mikado”.

The society’s regular accompanist, Chris Flint, will be at the piano.

Young performers will take part in the concert as guest artistes. Soprano, Rachael-Louisa Bray and baritone, Fin Jordan will be joined by flautist, Richard Fox, and Stephen Clarke who plays jazz piano.

The society’s musical director, Andrew Marples, said “As a society, we’re very keen to promote young local musicians and we’re delighted to give our guests the opportunity to join us so that they can demonstrate just how talented they are. Rachael was a member of the society’s Youth Academy and has already played principal parts in two of our recent stage productions. She and our three other guests have a great future ahead of them.”
