The programme will go on a journey through some all-time favourites such as Summer from the FourSeasons & Meditation from Thais, operatic classics such as Haanera from Carmen, Puccini's O Mio Babbini Caro & Nessun Dorma & we hear the magic of the musicals in the second half, featuring some of the greatest hits from Les Miserables, West Side Story and The Sound of Music.

Joining Joe is Laura Wright, who with over one million album sales to date remains one of the biggest selling classical artists of the decade.
