Movie musicals maestro John Wilson and his John Wilson Orchestra will be embarking a new UK tour ‘A Celebration of the MGM Film Musicals’, starting on November 28th 2017 at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall.
The John Wilson Orchestra has established an international reputation performing repertoire from the golden era of Hollywood and Broadway musicals and music for the big screen. Joined by guest soloists Louise Dearman and Matt Ford and (for the first time on tour) the John Wilson Chorus, the John Wilson Orchestra’s joyous celebration is an evening not to be missed. The sumptuous sounds of the MGM Studio Orchestra will be revived, featuring music from some of Hollywood’s best-loved film musicals including Singin’ in the Rain, Show Boat, Annie Get Your Gun and The Bandwagon, amongst others.
