Alexander L'Estrange, Shrewsbury School Community Choir, Shrewsbury School Chapel Choir, The “Call Me Al” Quintet

Anybody who performed in or came along to hear Zimbe! Come sing the songs of Africa! will love its nautical younger brother Ahoy! Sing for the
Mary Rose composed in 2013 by the hugely popular British composer
Alexander L’Estrange.

Commissioned to celebrate the opening of Portsmouth’s state-of-the-art museum which houses the hull and artefacts from King Henry VIII’s famous war ship, the piece is an uplifting and energetic fusion of sea shanties and
Tudor music.

As with Zimbe!, the evening features the Shrewsbury School Community
Choir, Shrewsbury School Chapel Choir, a children’s choir and The “Call Me Al" Quintet, L’Estrange’s very own professional jazz band. This concert is guaranteed to put smiles on everyone’s faces....not to be missed!
