HORIZONS VOL #2, a new concert series dedicated to the future of musical theatre, will be performed at Crazy Coqs at Brasserie Zedel on 27 January, it has been announced.
Bringing audiences the best new songs from up-and-coming songwriters in a concert curated especially for fans of musicals, this celebration of new musical theatre writing will reunite the team from last year’s successful VOL #1 concert.
HORIZONS VOL #2 includes work from composers Pippa Cleary (My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?), The Great British Bake Off Musical, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾), Elliot Clay (MILLENNIALS), Jaime Lozano (Present Perfect: A Musical in Broken English, A Never Ending Line), and Jordan Li-Smith (The Boy Who Sailed the Ocean in an Armchair).
On stage for HORIZONS VOL#2 are West End performers Anna Unwin (Aspects of Love), Pablo Gomez Jones (Starlight Express), Shaylyn Gibson (So Long Marianne), and Thomas Currie (Basically Nocturnal), as well as Musical Director Cerys McKenna (Titaníque) and host Kristie Winsen (UPLIFT Musical Theatre).
Host and Co-founder Kristie Winsen said: “Before I became involved in musical theatre in London, I worked in marketing and, like so many others, spent my working days in an office and my weekends enjoying shows on the West End. At the time, I wasn’t aware of the vibrant ecosystem of new musicals being created on a smaller scale—full of fresh ideas and exciting songs. Discovering this world of new musicals was transformative; I was both inspired by and eager to engage with the innovation and artistry happening beyond the mainstream. As the co-founder and host of HORIZONS, my goal is to connect fans of musical theatre with the extraordinary songs being written by emerging composers and lyricists. It’s a joy to create a space where the future of the art form can be celebrated and shared.”
