This is the backdrop for the Palm Court Light Orchestra’s concert of light music from the Edwardian age. Commencing with the music of Arthur Sullivan, Victor Herbert and Sigmund Romberg and including songs such as The Road to Mandalay, The Holy City and Vincent Youman’s Without a Song it is an afternoon to enjoy from the distant past.

This is a concert that reminds us of the historic significance of New York’s Broadway Theatres and London’s West End. From the earliest times of European operetta, the music hall, and vaudeville through to the creation of the unique art form called Musical Theatre, these two world cities have led the way. Expect to hear selections from Richard Rodgers South Pacific, Burton Lane’s Finian’s Rainbow, Ivor Novello’s Perchance to Dream and Robert B. Sherman’s Mary Poppins.
