In a programme spanning Broadway, opera, calypso, gospel, jazz, spirituals and more, the group revisits some of their proudest moments, including award-winning performances at local and international competition; Caribbean premieres; and classic arrangements of regional favourites. Performing will be some of the group’s best-loved soloists – Jacqueline Johnson, Feryal Qudourah, Hermina Charles, Garfield Washington, Marlon De Bique, Ayrice Wilson, Leah Lewis, and many more.

The Landmarks series also marks the launch of a companion double-CD of the same name – one CD of popular evergreens, one of Christmas favourites – plus a full year of anniversary events, including a production of Les Misérables.

Landmarks runs this Friday 12th (7:30pm), Saturday 13th (7:30pm) and Sunday 14th July (5:00pm) at Queen’s Hall.
