Boys’ choir ready to join Russell Watson

Choir of the Year finalists, Warwickshire County Choristers will join the international voice and a live orchestra on stage at Warwick Arts Centre.

The boys’ choir is made up of members aged from eight to 14 from 40 schools across the county.

And have said they are “honoured” to share a stage with the star for what they hope will bring big crowds out for the festive event.

Director Garry Jones said : “We are delighted to be able to round off a very exciting year on such a high note.”

Russell Watson has performed to royalty and the late Pope John Paul II in a private audience at the Vatican, as well as former US presidents and he opened the Commonwealth games in 2002.

He has also performed with Meatloaf, Lionel Richie, Paul McCartney, Lulu, and the late Luciano Pavarotti.

But still performs in smaller venues across the UK and said he is looking forward to teaming up with the Warwickshire choristers.

The concert will begin at 7.30pm on November 29. Tickets priced from £26 from the box office on 024 7652 4524 or artscentre
