Musical director Andrew Clarence, who joined the production team this summer, has been blown away by the talent. He added: “It has been a joy to be involved with The Customs House Summer School. They may be a small company but what a wonderful sound they make.  I have been astonished by the level of talent and we’re all looking forward to hearing the applause at the end of each performance that they so richly deserve.”
