Accomplished arranger, orchestrator and musical director Brian Farley has joined Limelight Musicals.

Brian has worked at the highest level for 25 years, including five years as musical director with the UK national tour of Evita.

Unsurpassed experience of stage musicals and nativities

He has unsurpassed experience of stage musicals, and is a passionate advocate of music and drama in schools. He organises highly regarded summer schools and workshops in music for children and young people.

He has wide experience of studio (performance and production), and music for television and stage shows.

Sparkling new orchestrations

Brian’s first commissions for Limelight include sparkling new orchestrations for Dazzle! and the BBC-televised modern nativity, Bus Stop 23. He will also be working on a new arrangement for Poptastic, Limelight's school talent show-based children's musical.

Brian said: “The heart of a stage musical is obviously the music and songs. With Limelight, these are outstanding. There are some spell-binding shows waiting in the wings. There is nothing better playing in London's West End.”

Andrew Bailey, the founder of Limelight Musicals, said: "Brian is a great musical director, and an exceptional arranger and orchestrator for the stage.

"His stunning arrangements will add another dimension of enjoyment to Limelight shows. I'm immensely pleased to be working with Brian, and looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish."
