Midlands music director Jobe Sullivan has put together concerts in Sutton Coldfield, Dudley and Newport with Simone Francesco Liconti and Shropshire singer Tara Kesley.

Jobe said: "I've never worked with such a determined impresaria in my life, such as Tara Kesley. I met both Klajdi and Simone when I was in Europe recently, and it's great to be able to play with my friend from my duo Sereno, Roksana Grobelna. I really highly recommend these once in a lifetime concerts."

American tenor and film star Mario Lanza is credited with popularising opera in the 1940s and 1950s.

Jobe, who will is music director and piano accompanist, added: "It's going to be a whirlwind triptych of concerts. I suggest to anyone who likes music to come along to these once in a lifetime concerts."

The Loveliest Night of the Year, will be held in August 25 at the Dormston Mill Theatre in Dudley from 7:30pm, tickets at £20. The Sutton Coldfield concert is on August 21 at 7pm at Holy Trinity Church.

On August 20 there will be a chance for people to sing along at Cosy Hall, Water lane, Newport, Shropshire, between 11am-3pm, with tickets at £18.
