Since 1999, The Night of 1000 Voices has delighted capacity audiences at the Royal Albert Hall whilst raising money for deserving charities. On Spring Bank Holiday, thrill to the sight and sound of some very special stars from London and New York, the huge international massed chorus of Sing Live UK and USA, Stephen Disley playing the magnificent organ of the
Royal Albert Hall and the City of London Philharmonic all creating an unforgettable musical experience.

In 2010, The Night of 1000 Voices will be celebrating its 10th birthday, the 80th birthday of Stephen Sondheim and the 50th Anniversary of this year’s charity, Leukaemia Research. Performers to be introduced by Aled Jones include London and Broadway’s Kerry Ellis (Oliver!, Wicked, Les Misérables) and Adam Pascal (Rent, Chess in Concert) and multi-Olivier Award-winning Philip Quast (Les Misérables, La Cage Aux Folles); also, the popular The Night of 1000 Voices favourites, Teri Bibb (Broadway’s Christine in The Phantom of the Opera), Kenneth Nichols (Lyric Opera of Chicago) and David Michael Johnson (We Will Rock You in Stuttgart) who will return with his show-stopping 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.

This year there will be a birthday tribute to Stephen Sondheim, as well as the most requested favourites from the last 10 years - including 'You’ll Never Walk Alone', 'The Tonight Quintet', 'It Ain't Necessarily So', and 'Don’t Cry For Me Argentina'. These are just some of the great songs that will be given The Night of 1000 Voices treatment, together with nods to We Will
Rock You and The Rocky Horror Show featuring TV’s Christopher Biggins.

In 2010, The Night of 1000 Voices will be for the benefit of Leukaemia Research. This is the only UK charity solely dedicated to saving lives through research into better treatments and cures for all blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Cathy Gilman, Chief Executive, says: "Since 1960, Leukaemia Research has invested in world-class research and survival rates have increased dramatically for patients with leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. However, there’s still a long way to go and money raised from this evening will help us get closer to a cure.
We are delighted that the original Calendar Girls from North Yorkshire will be our very special guests.”

The West End's distinguished conductors, Mark Warman, Stuart Morley and David Firman, will supervise the massed musical forces and the director, Hugh Wooldridge, says "This evening is a must for all who love musicals. Come along and hear the best performers in the world performing some of the greatest songs. Come and join in the fun; come and raise funds for
this splendid charity whilst raising the roof of the Royal Albert Hall."
