Mostly G&S

Welcome to Mostly G&S, a group based in the Reading, Berkshire area that enjoys singing operetta with specific emphasis on the works of WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, but also with interests in performing the works of composers such as Franz Lehár, Johann Strauss and Jacques Offenbach. We have developed a style of performing concert versions of the shows, in a semi-staged way that allows the story to be conveyed while the music really shines through.
