About the Event
From the dimly lit jazz clubs of New York to the glittering neon signs of old Hollywood, the Great American Songbook has infused life into some of the world’s most romantic and glamorous locations. This Valentine’s Day, travel back in time with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to an era when dance halls resonated with swing rhythms and theaters echoed with love songs late into the night.
Experience lavish orchestral arrangements combined with heart‐wrenching melodies popularized by iconic performers like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Tony Bennett, and Judy Garland. Enjoy classics such as: “So in Love,” “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye,” “My Funny Valentine,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “It Had to Be You,” “A Fine Romance,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” and many others. Talented soloists Sumudu Jayatilaka and Iain Mackenzie, paired with the brilliant conductor Richard Balcombe, will bring this music to life.
