Jamsheed Master - Concerts


An Enchanted Evening Virtuoso pianist and singer Jamsheed Master lights up the stage with a programme drawn from musical theatre, the silver screen and the ballroom. Songs that move you, nostalgic medleys that help you remember and Viennese waltzes to dance to. Jamsheed brings something unique to the concert platform with stunning displays of virtuosity and profoundly moving interpretations of popular music from the stage and screen. With music from West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, Mack & Mabel, waltzes by Strauss and arias by Puccini. Memorable musical theater is all about those transporting moments when a song reaches out and communicates that ineffable something to the audience, connecting with our feelings and deepening our insights in ways that dialogue alone cannot. Jamsheed blends these deeply moving moments of musical theatre with flashes of sheer joy and fun at the piano. The songs are linked with anecdotes, musical ephemera and stories that give the programme a charming, engaging flow. The journey has the audience captivated by drama one moment and up waltzing in the aisles the next. He’s one of the few pianists you’ll hear who can really make the piano sing and has quite a voice of his own too, lending it to carefully chosen songs throughout the programme. An Enchanted Evening is an inventive concert experience bringing together wonderful medleys of shows, moments of musical magic, personality, warmth and humour. Every performance has ended with the audience on its feet cheering for more.
