Roderick Dunk, Conductor and Gary Williams, vocalist.
2015 was the centenary of Frank Sinatra's birth and we're celebrating his work in style with this special Sinatra Celebration!
Recreating the magic of Ol' Blue Eyes is star of the West End's 'Rat Pack' Gary Williams. Described by the London Evening Standard as "the UK's leading standard bearer for the supercool era" he is a favorite with orchestras and big bands from Los Angeles to Finland and Melbourne to Tokyo. Gary has performed at such prestigious venues as Buckingham Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and Sinatra's home in Palm Springs.
This is a true celebration of the man and his music and a rare opportunity to hear the songs performed the way they were meant to be heard - with sumptuous orchestrations created for Sinatra by such master arrangers as Nelson Riddle, Billy May and Gordon Jenkins.
Enjoy all the hits including Come Fly with Me, Strangers in the Night, In the Wee Small Hours, Witchcraft, Under My Skin, Fly Me to The Moon, My Way and many more.
Join us for this unforgettable gala concert of Sinatra's greatest hits!
