STANTHORPE Regional Art Gallery welcomes The Savoyard Singers back to Music in the Gallery on Sunday, October 28, for what will be a wonderfully entertaining afternoon of music.

This year the group’s performance is titled Broadway in the Gallery and, as the title would suggest, you can expect a wonderful selection of songs from Broadway musical productions spanning a wide period from the 1930s and onwards.

The program comprises music from some of the best loved and most popular musicals of the 20th century and includes songs from South Pacific and Oklahoma through to West Side Story, Beauty and the Beast as well as a host of others.

Many of us came to love these songs and their stories from the films and cast recordings which followed the stage productions and these media enabled the music and the stories to reach a wider audience.

It’s not so many years ago that households had only one TV (if that) and the regular form of entertainment was a good old sing around the piano with the newly released sheet music from popular musical shows.

Several members of the Savoyards are seasoned Stanthorpe visitors, with mezzo soprano Mary Ewing, tenors Ross Muirhead and John Hills, and bassist Mark Craig returning to entertain.

They will be joined by soprano Kim Kee and all will be expertly accompanied by Jye Burton.

Artistic director Phyll Griffin has again linked story lines and themes to create a seamless program which is sure to delight.

The Savoyard Singers are celebrating their 20th year of making music across Brisbane and the south-east of Queensland, entertaining all those who enjoy the melodies that embellish our lives with tunes that never grow old.

This is always a most enjoyable afternoon in the annual Music in the Gallery calendar.

Music in the Gallery starts at 2pm on Sunday, October 28. Entry is $10 per person.
