Show stopping tunes, fine wine and cheese this cabaret style musical evening!

Wednesday 28 March 2012

Students from the University's London College of Music will be delivering a spectacular cabaret-style performance of songs by celebrated composer Stephen Sondheim.

The evening called 'Cheese, Wine and Sondheim' will take place on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 April 2012 in Lawrence Hall at the University's St Mary's Road, Ealing site at 7pm.

It promises to be a musical feast with songs by the Academy Award winning composer and guests can look forward to songs from iconic films Sweeney Todd, Follies, Company and A Little Night Music being showcased by the talent of students from the London College of Music.

Sondheim is an American composer and lyricist for stage and film with a successful and inspirational career that has included eight Tony Awards, multiple Grammy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize and the Laurence Olivier Award. 

The evening is a collaborative effort by the London College of Music with the third year Orchestration class arranging the music, Musical Theatre students performing the songs and BMus Performance students providing the orchestra. Recent London College of Music graduate, George Cartet, will be the Music Director of the show.

As part of the University's commitment to Fairtrade, the wine that will be served at the event will be Fairtrade.

Commenting on the 'Cheese, Wine and Sondheim' evening, Sara Raybould, Acting Head of the University's London College of Music, said:

'It is wonderful to see that students from across the London College of Music are collaborating as part of the curriculum in this way, it promises to be a wonderful evening. Also thank you to colleagues in Hospitality and the Students' Union for their assistance in putting this evening together.'
