World-renowned composer Olga Thomas-Bosovskaya is set to release her new EP ‘Royal Christmas with Olga Thomas’ in November

Olga Thomas is delighted to announce her new EP which is set for release on the 30th November and features 4 tracks.

The first track on the EP composed by Olga especially for Christmas is titled ‘That Is His Story’. Rrecorded in London at Angel Studios with a 72-piece live orchestra and arranged and produced by Robert Emery, one of the top classical crossover producers in the UK. Along with the Arts Symphonic Orchestra and Arts Voices choir the two vocalists on the track are none other than Australian Tenor and West End Star Daniel Koek (best known for his role as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables) and Number One Classical album soprano, Joanna Forest.

Daniel’s powerful tenor vocal compliments perfectly with Joanna’s tender and pure tone, together they bring a certain magic to the track. Daniel is currently touring all over the World and making waves in America, Olga was delighted he could be part in this project and knew he was the perfect choice. Joanna went to number one in the classical album charts last year and has been touring, as well as recording her new album, due for release in 2019. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious, she is a true British sensation.

A timeless Christmas classic that mesmerises and delights and perfect for the Christmas season.

The next two tracks on the EP include ‘Royal Platinum Love Song’ and ‘Royal Hollywood Love Song’. These two songs have been previously released on separate occasions and

Royal Platinum Love Song is a song that celebrates Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Philip’s historic platinum wedding anniversary of 70 years which took place last year, this song went straight to number one in the iTunes Classical charts and again features Daniel Koek and Joanna Forest.

‘Royal Hollywood Love Song’ was released earlier this year to celebrate the wedding of His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex. The song was originally written for the wedding of one of Hollywood’s ‘Royal Families’ The Douglas’s. Kirk Douglas’s son, film producer Joel Douglas received the song as a gift for his wedding from Olga, who composed it in the majestic setting of Clark Gable’s house. It was then played for Her Majesty the Queen at her Golden Jubilee reception on behalf of Cruse Bereavement Care, a charity for which the Queen is a patron of. With the news of Prince Harry’s engagement to his Hollywood sweetheart Meghan Markle, Olga was inspired to rework and rearrange the song especially for them along with the 72-piece orchestra.

Last but by no means least is the serene soprano Emily Haig who sings on the beautiful track ‘Anno Domini’, which was originally featured on Olga’s album ‘Jubilation – Christmas Special’, but has now been remastered and arranged by Robert Emery to feature on this EP. Emily’s career continues to go from strength to strength this stylish soprano delights her audiences with her expressive and spellbinding performances and is the sporting industry’s first choice national anthem singer.

Olga has for many years composed private musical gifts for the Royal Family to celebrate and commemorate major events in the Royal Household. She embarked on a solo artist career just over two years ago and has released several singles and albums since. Olga has a lifelong admiration, respect and passion for the Royal Family.
