Christ’s Hospital presents an amateur production of Jason Robert Brown’s Songs For A New World.

It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs For A New World. The first musical from Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges Of Madison County), this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices we make.

Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue to meet a startling array of characters ranging from a young man who has determined that basket-ball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams and a soulless marriage.

Original Orchestration by Brian Besterman and Jason Robert Brown.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International.

All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.MTIShows.co.uk

Come and enjoy an evening of solo performances by our senior music scholars.

We are delighted to be welcoming Anna Lapwood MBE to Christ's Hospital in October.

Anna has reached audiences far beyond the classical mainstream with her striking blend of musicianship, enthusiasm and charm, and eloquent artistry.

In demand worldwide as concerto soloist and recitalist, she has attracted over two million social media followers and regularly connects with listeners as a presenter on BBC Radio and Television, and Classic FM. Her discography as an exclusive SONY Classical artist continues to grow, most recently with the 2025 release of Fire dove, an album of original compositions and works freshly arranged for organ.

Anna will give a recital on the Organ in Chapel. Including music by: Olivia Belli, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Eugène Gigout

There are a limited number of tickets available which include a drinks reception in the Court Room following the recital.
