After last year's celebration of the Hollywood screen musical, John Wilson and his high-octane orchestra - whose technicoloured performances, according to one critic, offer `the auditory equivalent of a steam-clean' - present a tribute to the composers and arrangers responsible for creating the Broadway Sound - among them such legendary tunesmiths as Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Richard Rodgers and Frank Loesser.

With a cast of leading soloists, the concert includes excerpts from Show Boat, No, No, Nanette, On Your Toes, Kiss Me, Kate and Annie Get Your Gun.
