The music comes from three ‘Sacred Concerts’ which Duke Ellington performed in the 60s and early 70s and he described as "the most important thing I have ever done". The Choir will be joined by Pete Long and his award-winning jazz orchestra, Echoes Of Ellington, together with some stellar soloists, a tap dancer and the Revd Richard Lawry, Vicar of Blakeney and former actor, as Narrator, in what promises to be a thoroughly entertaining evening, and a little different to the Phil's typical offerings!
