    Music from the West End and Broadway

    Music from the West End and Broadway

    From West Side Story to Hamilton, musical theatre has been part of the music landscape since at least the early 20th century.

    Composers like Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber have shown it can be both experimental and unashamedly emotional, musically exciting and dramatically thrilling.

    When we’re not humming along to Bach, you’re likely to find us singing to Sondheim.
