Spokeswoman Marilyn Hurdwell said: “As usual, their summer concert is lighter in style and will provide music to suit all tastes.

“An enticing selection from a new publication called 100 Years of Broadway will feature show songs from Mame to Mamma Mia!, Oklahoma to Les Misérables, South Pacific to Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story to Joseph and more.

“In addition they will perform Paul Mealor’s very moving song Wherever Yyou Are, made famous by the Portsmouth Military Wives’ Choir.

“Solos, duets and ensembles will feature several of the Chorale’s talented members.

“Alison Manton and her special guest will once again be at the piano, accompanied by two outstanding professional percussionists, all conducted by the Chorale’s musical director George Jones.

“The young singer Emily Williams has also been invited to sing two solos, following her recent success at the annual Arun Young Musicians’ Festival

“Looking even further ahead, the Chorale, with The Sinfonia of Arun and professional soloists, is privileged to commemorate the centenary of World War One with a special performance of Sir Karl Jenkins’ very moving The Armed Man.
