Lisa Bobbert will be celebrating the music of Vera Lynn at the Hilton Arts Festival.
THE music of Vera Lynn, Hollywood’s Golden Age, Paul Simon and The Beatles can be enjoyed at this year’s Hilton Arts Festival, which runs from September 15 to 17 at Hilton College.
Durban singer and actress, Lisa Bobbert, will be playing tribute to a woman whose voice, some say, helped win the Second World War in A Nightingale Sang… A Tribute to Vera Lynn.
In March this year the British singer turned 100 years old, and a few years ago she was number one on the hit parade in England, with a re-release of her wartime album Hits of the Blitz.
The show, which will be performed in the Drama Centre, at 3 pm on Saturday, September 16 and 12 noon on Sunday, September 17, includes songs like We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs of Dover, I’ll be Seeing You, Lili Marlene, We’ll Gather Lilacs, London Pride and, of course, A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square.
Bobbert will be joined by Anthony Stonier, with Evan Roberts on piano.
Tickets for this nostalgic trip down an English country lane are R140 (R120 pensioners).
