Classic Ibiza is returning to Burghley House near Stamford on Saturday 26 July, promising an extra-special show to mark the concert’s 10th birthday. To celebrate, Stephen Hussey’s 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra will be joined by the incredible London Community Gospel Choir, adding a fresh dynamic with their soulful vocals and harmonies to a musical set crammed full of stone-cold house classics.

 

Founded in 1982, London Community Gospel Choir has become one of the world’s most in demand choirs, gracing headline events and venues such as The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Glastonbury, the Grammys and the Royal Albert Hall. They have also recorded with a veritable who’s who of popular music, including Adele, Blur, Madonna and Gregory Porter.

 

Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward says: “It’s hard to put into words how excited we are to be joined by the truly awesome London Community Gospel Choir as our special guests. Just imagine the soulful wall of sound they will create with Stephen Hussey’s amazing Urban Soul Orchestra. This summer’s Classic Ibiza is a show you’ll not want to miss - it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!”

 

This summer’s Classic Ibiza will feature a best-of set made up of firm crowd favourites from the show’s 10 year history. Including more tracks than ever before, USO’s orchestral performance will recreate the experience of hearing a club DJ, with one track seamlessly transitioning to the next. London Community Gospel Choir will be performing in the first half of the show alongside USO and DJ Goldierocks, as well as with DJ Jose Luis in his Afro/Latin House set.

 

London Community Gospel Choir’s Leonn Meade adds: “Much of house music has its roots in gospel, with artists such as Barbara Tucker, Joe Smooth and even Aretha Franklin providing iconic vocals on some real club classics. Our collaboration with Classic Ibiza this summer is going to be something very special, and we can’t wait to bring our unique vibe to the party at Burghley House in July.”

 

Ticket sales are strong again for Classic Ibiza’s tour of our country’s best-loved stately homes this summer, with some venues already approaching 50% capacity. For further information, visit: classicibiza.co.uk
