Compton Hospice Charity Concert to be Held at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre

Today, Wolverhampton Grand Theatre officially announce that Jeremy Hobbs for Compton Hospice will produce and direct ETHOS - THE BEST OF TIMES, a night of theatre as a fitting tribute to Compton Hospice on its 35th anniversary on Saturday 15 July.

A unique occasion for those that have the future of Compton Hospice at heart to reflect on the past and to give thanks for the present.

ETHOS - THE BEST OF TIMES produced and directed for Compton Hospice by Jeremy Hobbs will be an emotional blend of beautiful music, song and dance highlighting the importance of Compton Hall from its early beginnings to its place of major importance as a hospice today.

A breath-taking lighting design and innovative staging, with a large back projected screen will create an ever-changing atmosphere of emotion together with the intensity of the carefully chosen music and lyrics.

The finale, that will culminate with the 100 Voices of the Celebration Choir, will celebrate the sheer joy of life - an integral part of Compton Hospice's ethos.

The evening will feature the highly rated composer and concert pianist Luke Faulkner with Aimee Fisher and Lauren Soley from the London cast of Les Miserables performing 'I Dreamed A Dream' and 'On My Own'.

Colette Forsyth, Holly-Ann White and the dancers from MUSCOM's award-winning company will be joined by the Denise Robinson School of Dance and the exciting new talents of Annabel Rockett. Annabel is a National Finalist in this year's Rotary International Young Musician of the Year. Violinist Karolina Tomaszewicz with Luke Faulkner will bring tears to the eyes with with the haunting 'Schindler's List'.

Members of the Compton Hospice Choir will be performing together with the 'Pure Imagination' of Nick Sullivan and the children of Newbridge Preparatory School and the celebration band under the direction of James Maddison will give rousing accompaniment to the evening's programme.
