Arts at St. Luke’s presents The Durham Savoyards in concert, “Tripping Hither, Tripping Thither”, September 27, 4:00 pm
The Durham Savoyards have been part of the Triangle’s cultural life since 1963, sharing the joyful and witty musical comedies of Gilbert and Sullivan. Named for London’s historic Savoy Theatre, the group began with a blend of Duke University academics and local residents who came together to celebrate these classic operettas. For more than 60 years, they have presented one Gilbert & Sullivan operetta each spring at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, and offered concerts throughout the year for community organizations, churches, and special events.
Their program for St. Luke’s, “Tripping Hither, Tripping Thither,” features selections from
next year’s production, Iolanthe (March 19-21, 2027), along with highlights from several of their more recent shows. The Savoyards are excited to share with us the timeless joys,
clever humor, and sparkling music of Gilbert and Sullivan.
All are warmly invited to attend. The concert is free, with $10-$20 suggested donations
to the St. Luke’s Music and Arts Fund.
