Programme Note
Following their sell-out concert in 2021, the eight-cello group Octocello is bringing the unique sound of many cellos to Thame. The local group will be playing something for everyone, including arrangements of hits by Andy Williams, Mark Ronson, Charles Aznavour and Leonard Cohen, together with classical favourites and a nostalgic film medley. Octocello will be joined by The Voice Section, an a capella choir based in Ealing, singing their varied repertoire of hits.
All proceeds from the concert will go to Thames Valley Air Ambulance, in memory of one of the group’s founder members who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2023.
Tickets are available from The Book House in Thame, or directly from chris.the.cellist@gmail.com
