The Brian Clemens Big Band Presents - The Transatlantic Songbook

Join LA-born pianist and composer Brian Clemens and jazz vocal star Francesca Confortini for the Harrogate debut of The Transatlantic Songbook.Journeying from Broadway to the West End, the programme offers a stylish trip back in time, celebrating the Great American and British Songbook through some of the most enduring music of the 20th century.From the elegance of George Gershwin to the theatrical wit of Lionel Bart & Anthony Newley, iconic songs from both sides of the Atlantic are brought to life by a roaring big band featuring some of London’s finest musicians.Following the success of Songs of the Silver Screen, which played to packed houses at London’s iconic Wilton’s Music Hall and toured theatres across the UK, the Brian Clemens Big Band returns with a new programme, while also featuring audience favourites from the previous production, including celebrated music from James Bond and beyond.

Praised by The Spy in the Stalls as ‘a whirlwind ride through the music world,’ the concert showcases the musical chemistry between Clemens and Confortini, whose powerful vocals have been heard across Europe and who has shared the stage with artists such as Cat Stevens and Rod Stewart.Now, the band makes its exciting debut at Harrogate Theatre for an evening of show-stopping entertainment you won’t want to miss.
