Following on from our Tip of the Week, I thought I’d choose ‘America’ from the stage musical classic ‘West Side Story’ for my music piece of the week. With the iconic score by Bernstein, this is a guaranteed upbeat number to get your guests tapping their feet at any drinks reception. We like to think our string quartet arrangement captures lots of the rhythm, exuberance and verve of the piece. By the way, I really enjoyed Frankie and Kevin’s Paso Doble to this number on Saturday’s Strictly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VvQiiZvrdI
If you are fans of American Musical Theatre in particular, don’t forget BLOC’s production of Sister Act at the Bristol Hippodrome the week after next. Three members of the Lochrian Ensemble will be having a ball as part of the pit orchestra no doubt – jealous I’m not one of them!
