Special guests announced for JOHN WILSON AND HIS SINFONIA OF LONDON tour
Legendary musical entertainer and actress Kim Criswell and Olivier award winning actor Jamie Parker (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, West End) have been announced to join John Wilson on his UK tour with the Sinfonia of London Orchestra, performing the golden age of Hollywood’s greatest hits.
Wilson relaunched this famous orchestra in 2018 for special concerts and recording projects, giving two acclaimed televised BBC Proms performances in 2021 and 2022. Described as “astonishingly brilliant, with Hollywood-dream glories in the string sound”, Sinfonia of London includes a significant number of principals and leaders from UK and international orchestras, alongside notable soloists and members of distinguished chamber groups.
The tour will bring the lush musical splendour of the silver screen to life, including classics such as ‘Singin’ in the Rain’, ‘Over the Rainbow’, ‘S’Wonderful’, ‘High Society’, ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’, ‘That’s Entertainment’ and many more.
John Wilson said: “I am thrilled to be taking Sinfonia of London on the road with our new show Hollywood’s Greatest Hits - an evening of hit songs everyone will know and love from the Golden Age of Hollywood movie musicals - all played by our hand-picked 70 piece orchestra and guest singers. We look forward to seeing you all throughout the land at our favourite UK venues”.
The 11-date tour will visit Basingstoke, Brighton, London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Gateshead, Liverpool, Glasgow, Nottingham and Manchester.
