and All That Jazz: POSTPONED

… and All That Jazz

… and now for something very different from the BOI Singers…

The main work in this concert is a one of those quirky and fun pieces which entertains both audience and performers.

Song Cycle - Vive la Vélorution by Alexander L’Estrange is a sequence of songs about the bicycle and the joys of cycling. (Vélo is French for bicycle)

It was commissioned to mark the grand départ of the 2014 Tour de France in Yorkshire.

The piece contains a wide variety of musical styles including jazz, musical theatre, barbershop, pastiche, Victorian Music Hall and folk, taking the audience on an exhilarating ride celebrating this most energy-efficient mode of transport and the beauty of the English countryside.

The rest of the programme will include a selection of jazz standards, world folk songs and popular hits.

Light refreshment included.
