A celebration of the classic MGM musicals UK Tour.

The sumptuous sounds of the MGM Studios Orchestra will be revived by John Wilson who will pay tribute to, among others, composers George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Harry Warren, Jerome Kern, Andre Previn and the great Hollywood arrangers Conrad Salinger, Johnny Green and Nelson Riddle.

The concert will feature some of the Hollywood's best loved music from the MGM film musicals including 'High Society', 'Singin in the Rain', 'An American in Paris' and 'The Wizard of Oz' to name a few, much of this music will be heard in the concert hall for the first time in its original version in scores newly reconstructed by John Wilson. John and the John Wilson Orchestra has captured the imagination of the British public.

In August 2009 John Wilson and the John Wilson Orchestra caused a sensation with a live television broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms with a celebration of the MGM film musicals.

In November 2010, John and the Orchestra will reunite the original proms cast including Sir Thomas Allen, Curtis Stigers and Kim Criswell to perform a national tour.

Forthcoming UK tour dates announced.
