In the 2007 Annual Concert, Voices of the Valley will present an attractive program with medleys from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera and Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus as anchor pieces. The semi-stage number of Die Fledermaus was presented in December 2006 at the Flint Center and was excellently received by the 2000 in audience – for those who missed it last time, this will be your second chance!

The concert will also feature a medley of 5 of The Beatles' most celebrated ballads, Lennon and McCartney... on Love, arranged by Lou Hayward. To top it off, Voices of the Valley will perform the "Crisis" movement of the Liverpool Oratorio, composed by none other than Paul McCartney of The Beatles. The Liverpool Oratorio speaks of the experience of the fictional character Shanty from childhood to fatherhood, with "Crisis" being the most dramatic pivotal scene, where an accident changed Shanty's view of love and life.

「歌聲魅影」為近代最赴盛名之百老滙音樂劇之一, 自一九八六年首演至今, 觀眾人數已高達五千二百萬。其中的副曲如「想念您」(Think of You), 「唯求親近您」(All I Ask of You)及同名主題曲, 萬千歌迷皆耳熟能詳。清韻將演出以劇中曲目串連而成的改編合唱作品, 配合舞臺設計, 為此次年度公演的壓軸好戲。

除此以外, 清韻亦將演出改編自歌劇「蝙蝠」之混聲合唱。此曲目清韻曾於二零零六年底於灣區庫伯天奴之Flint Center大劇院演出一場, 深獲近二千觀眾好評, 徇眾要求, 今回再度搬上舞臺。對鍾情流行音樂的聽眾, 更要特別留意是次音樂會其中以「披頭四」五首熱門歌曲改編而成的大合唱。承此主題, 清韻亦揀選了由「披頭四」成員保羅˙麥卡尼所作「利物浦清唱劇」(Liverpool Oratorio) 中「危機」選段, 劇力萬鈞, 不容錯過。

是次公演門卷現正有售, 欲免向隅, 訂購從速!
