Alfie Boe's Llanelli programme revealed

After great secrecy, the musical veil has been lifted on the exciting programme which awaits audiences when the nation’s favourite tenor, Alfie Boe, performs in a grand choral performance in Llanelli.
When Alfie Boe joins the conductor John Hywel Williams, Llanelli Choral Society, Hywel Girls’ Choir & Hywel Boy Singers, Adele O’Neill, pianist Jean Hywel and organist Huw Tregelles Williams, audiences will enjoy a colourful masterpiece programme of music of solo and great choral ensembles spanning theatre musicals and classical as well as great choruses from opera and oratorio.
After Alfie Boe’s acclaimed leading role performance of Jean Valjean in the sold-out 25th anniversary concert performance of Les Miserables at the London O2 Arena at the personal request of Sir Cameron Mackintosh, audiences will be thrilled to hear that the programme will include an exciting mass-choral compilation with Alfie Boe with world-favourites from Les Miserables such as ‘At the End of the Day’, ‘Do you Hear the People Sing?’ and ‘Bring Him Home’.
Other magic moments from Alfie Boe will include classics from Rodgers & Hammerstein such as Some Enchanted Evening, If I Loved You, Hushabye Mountain, On the Street Where You live from My Fair Lady and the acclaimed Tonight from Berstein’s West Side Story as well as a range of popular Italian romantic songs.
Great choruses will include Zadok the Priest, The Anvil Chorus, Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, the Easter Hymn, Hallelujah Chorus, the Grand March from Aida and the haunting melody of Benedictus by Karl Jenkins.
In addition to favourites from Les Miserables, the young voices of the Hywel Girls’ Choir & Hywel Boy Singers will be sure to bring a tear to the occasional eye with classics such as Panis Angelicus, Over the Rainbow and Climb Ev’ry Mountain from the Sound of Music.

Director of Music, John Hywel Williams (above), shares his thinking in crafting the programme.
“This is an evening inspired by the human voice – the solo voice, the collective voice, the mature voice, the young voice and we wanted to create a programme which magnified all these, balancing an evening of popular songs, dramatical arias, powerful choruses and sensitive melodies”, explains Director of Music, John Hywel Williams, who crafted the programme.
“Our goal was to take the human voice – a simple and most beautiful of instruments – and show its magic in transforming the physics of air flow into an performance experience which can fascinate, inspire, thrill, evoke emotion and in the process enjoyed as a large and capacity community.”
The sell-out performance has seen unprecedented demand for tickets with tickets sold-out before publicity posters were printed.
The performance will take place in the grand setting of Llanelli’s Tabernacle Chapel on Saturday 24th September.
