From sleek, shimmering strings to the razzmatazz of Big Band-like brass and a driving rhythm section, the orchestra is as much the star of the show as the singer it performs with. The red carpet is rolled out for a suaveness, sophistication and debonair presence that makes The Novello Orchestra an exhilarating musical experience.
