The Wandering Minstrels
(Patron: Lady Isabella Naylor-Leyland)
A superb light-hearted evening of songs and scenes from the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas, beautifully sung and delightfully staged. Two hours of Savoy favourites, combining the biting wit of W.S. Gilbert and the enchanting music of Sir Arthur Sullivan.
'The Wandering Minstrels' is an highly accomplished group of six singers and a pianist who specialize in staging songs and scenes from the immortal Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Their concerts of Savoy classics, presented in period costume and performed in traditional style, are events to remember.
The majority of their performances are staged in parish churches, helping to raise much-needed funds for these wonderful buildings. They also perform in theatres and stately homes all around the country and have frequently appeared at the prestigious International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival in Buxton.
Over many years this exceptional company has built up and commanded an enviable reputation as a leading Gilbert and Sullivan concert group, making them very much in demand. In addition, the company has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for numerous charitable causes since its formation.
