To celebrate multi-Tony Award winning composer Maury Yeston’s 80th birthday, producer Danielle Tarento presents a concert of his most well know and loved music, directed by Thom Southerland.

Tarento and Southerland have collaborated previously on several of Yeston’s shows in the UK, including the London premieres of Titanic the Musical and Death Takes a Holiday and a critically acclaimed revival of Grand Hotel. These musicals will be represented in the concert, along with music from Nine, Phantom and many others, including never-before heard songs and an overture written especially for the occasion.

Heading the cast will be West End and Broadway star Ramin Karimloo. No stranger to Yeston’s work, Karimloo played Barrett in the recent Encore’s production of Titanic the Musical at NYCityCenter and Guido Contini in Nine in Concert for Hope Mill Theatre at The Lowry. Further star casting to be announced.

The concert will feature the 30-piece London Musical Theatre Orchestra, under the baton of Mark Aspinall.

Tarento said “My working relationship and friendship with Maury is one of the great joys of my life. His musicals resonate so deeply with me and have framed so much of the past 15 years of my career. To be able to celebrate his 80th birthday in such a significant way is a privilege and an honour.”

The concert is raising funds for Bowel Cancer UK with all profits going towards supporting the work of this vitally important charity.
