TICKETS are now on sale for the 2008 Ross Live! Festival, which runs from Thursday, July 31, to Wednesday, August 20.

There will be a performance by 12-year-old violinist Hannah Roper who will play the Bach E major Concerto with the Musical and Amicable Society Orchestra.

Forte Entertainment, newly formed from local musical theatre group X-Centricity, will be launching their programme in Showtime! at the Larruperz Centre.

Amateur and professional singers and musicians will also come together to perform Verdi’s Requiem at Wyastone Concert Hall under Adrian Partington.

Noye’s Fludde will give local children and young people the chance to work with a professional director and musicians in Benjamin Britten’s opera for children.

Heartbreak Productions will also return with their own take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream in The Secret Garden at The Royal Hotel.

Also on the programme is the blind autistic musical savant Derek Paravicini who plays jazz, pop and light classical music on the piano with dazzling virtuosity from memory.
