Daytime Music Theatre: David Hobson Hear Me Now

David Hobson – “Hear Me Now”
With David Cameron at the piano

With many songs to sing, stories to tell and a little comedy, this new concert, “Hear Me Now” by this Star Tenor will delight those who love beautiful music. From a cross section of beloved Operas (Puccini, Verdi), Musical Theatre (Rodgers and Hammerstein, Bart, Lerner and Lowe), Celtic gems through to popular evergreens that still inspire and move, David will guide you through a concert of classics, plus a few surprises.

The highly talented David Cameron provides the accompaniment and having performed together for twenty-five years, there is a great on-stage synergy that is inimitable and dynamic.
