AMICI FOREVER founder Geoff Sewell has selected schools from throughout New Zealand to perform with him and London’s hottest stars in a concert tour starting next month.

The choirs will perform with Geoff in this series of magical concerts as well as being offered the once in a lifetime opportunity to take part in a masterclass at their school with our international superstar.

• For his concert in Hamilton on February 18, Geoff has great pleasure in announcing SOUTHWELL SCHOOL as the supporting choir.

• PLUS: special guest star for each show is the beautiful ELIZABETH MARVELLY, fresh in from Europe, where she’s been touring with UK’S GOT TALENT phenomenon PAUL POTTS.

New Zealand-born tenor Geoff says he is honoured to have the schools joining him and his INCOGNITO ARTISTS on this very special concert tour.

“It will be magical,” beams Sewell. “I am very much looking forward to performing with these young stars of the future.”

The founder of AMICI FOREVER and an entourage of spectacular artists from the world of opera,the West End, Broadway, film and television will perform some of the world's finest and most timeless songs on this tour.

From Verdi to Dean Martin to Puccini to pop, this truly quality performance will be THE live show in Hamilton, Wellington, Napier, Dunedin, Christchurch, Palmerston North and Auckland from February 18 through to February 28.

Together Sewell and Incognito Artists have entertained a who's who of international stars including Sir Elton John, Richard Branson, David and Victoria Beckham, Nelson Mandela, the Queen and Princes Charles, William and Harry, Sir Cliff Richard and many, many other household names worldwide. Now New Zealand audiences can enjoy them.

Incognito Artists is Geoff's multi million dollar company in the UK and USA featuring international stars of the West End, Broadway, opera, film and television. Celia Graham is currently starring as Christine in The Phantom in London and is no stranger to opera houses around the world; Emma Clifford has played Roxy in Chicago and appeared in many film and TV lead roles; Darren Bennett is a song and dance supremo from Cats, Singing in the Rain, Hot Shoe Shuffle and many others.
