John Wilson Set for SINGULAR SENSATIONS at The Charing Cross, 8 Dec

Charing Cross Theatre's SINGULAR SENSATIONS - Up Close and Personal with the Stars of Musical Theatre continues with an intimate chat with John Wilson on Sunday December 8th at 3pm.

John Wilson and the orchestra which bears his name created an absolute sensation at the 2009 Proms with their celebration of 75 years of MGM musicals. 3.5 million people watched the relay live; countless more all over the world will relive the experience on DVD. John has made a speciality of restoring and recreating great movie scores and presenting them in all their very particular glory in concert halls up and down the UK. Wilson is a master of style and sonority and his orchestra has no equal anywhere in the world right now. A Wilson Prom is now a yearly event and this year he and the orchestra are showcasing their MGM tribute in Hollywood itself.
