An orchestra that recreates Hollywood's golden age is heading to Chester as part of its UK tour.

Debuting a brand new concert, The Fulltone Orchestra is set to perform at Chester Cathedral this month - embarking on a musical journey back in time.

Taking to the stage on Friday 27 June, 'The Golden Age of Hollywood' consists of film scores from 'The Magnificent Seven', 'Ben-Hur', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and 'The Great Escape'.

Under the baton of musical director Anthony Brown, the audience will also hear the music of composers like Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, and Henry Mancini.

Founded in 2017 by Musical Director Anthony Brown, The Fulltone Orchestra features 50 musicians from the South West.

Anthony created the orchestra to bring to life his dream of performing powerful and genre-defying symphonic music.

Speaking about the upcoming concert, Anthony said "The Golden Age of Hollywood is a concert that we are really excited to perform in the beautiful surroundings of Chester Cathedral.

"The music we have chosen really does showcase the orchestra's exceptional musicianship.

"The symphony orchestra, accompanied our sensational soloists, will transport audiences to the glitz and glamour of classic Hollywood for this splendid evening of music that you really won't forget.

"Whether you're a movie lover or simply enjoy great music, The Golden Age of Hollywood offers a chance to experience the magic of these classic films on a wonderful and exciting scale."

The Fulltone Orchestra will be joined on stage by soloists Edward Kerr and Jemma Brown, singing songs from award winning Hollywood musicals.

Edward Kerr has been singing for over 30 years across a wide range of styles, from Italian arias, through big band classics to rock.

Jemma Brown trained under Geraldine Roche ARCM (Hons) and has performed in various professional musical ventures, most recently with Fulltone in Sir Karl Jenkins's 'The Peacemakers.'

Tickets are priced at £12 and can be booked online. Alternatively, tickets can also be booked in person at the Chester Cathedral box office.
