Julie Andrews hosts an evening of musical gifts, old and new. Performed by five guest vocalists with Ms. Andrews narrating, the first half of the program takes audience members on a musical journey featuring the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein.
The second half of the evening features a new work, Simeon’s Gift, adapted from Ms. Andrews’ children’s book, co-authored with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton. Bridging the worlds of music, literature and theatre, with a score by Ian Fraser and lyrics by John Bucchino, Simeon’s Gift will be performed by vocalists with a full symphony orchestra. Julie Andrews serves as storyteller, weaving the tale of a 15th century minstrel on a quest to discover his own true gift.
