Wilton Singers Presents “A Night At The Movies!” May 3rd and 4th - WEPCO Complex, Wilton, CT

Wilton Singers Presents “A Night At The Movies!” May 3rd and 4th - WEPCO Complex, Wilton, CT

The Wilton Singers are excited to present their 41st season’s Spring concert, “A Night At the Movies” on May 3rd and 4th.

The Singers are offering a joyful and memory-filled musical journey highlighting some of the most memorable and enjoyable songs from a wide array of beloved, award-winning movies over the past two decades and beyond.

Audiences will hear well-known hit songs from movie greats such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Moulin Rouge, The Greatest Showman, The Lion King, Slumdog Millionaire, Amistad, and more. Classic favorites are offered in new, stunning ways as well, including “Shenandoah” and “Come What May.” Even songs from top contemporary films such as The Barbie Movie and Pitch Perfect are featured.

The group will be accompanied by pianist Lisa Bettke, a Wilton High School alumna and former Madrigal Singer who also serves as accompanist and conductor with the Fairfield Children's Choir. The Singers will also be joined by percussionist Robert D’Angelo and bassist Rodger Bryan, as well as guest instrumentalists from the choir itself.

The show’s producer, Patty Taylor, a longtime member of the Singers and Brewster Central School District’s K-12 Performance Art Coordinator - shared, “We couldn’t be more excited to deliver this special, diverse program in honor of the movies that we’ve loved and their memorable songs that have enriched our lives. It’s truly a thrilling and joyful musical celebration that fuses a love of the movies with the beauty of music written by top composers of our times.”

The Wilton Singers were co-founded in 1983 by two Wilton couples, Ed and MacEwen and Al and Jan Galletly, and the group continues 40+ singers strong, representing many different cultures, fields, industries and locations, all sharing a love of making music together.

Fostering diversity, equity and inclusion and a deep respect for cultures around the world is a commitment to the Wilton Singers, and their musical selections demonstrate their love of music from countries and cultures around the world as well as the ever-expanding interests of both their audiences and singers.

Audience members are encouraged to bring their own food and drink to enjoy with friends and family in a Cabaret-style atmosphere.
