Last Night of the Proms

Supporters of Huntingdonshire Philharmonic who love a bit of flag waving will be well catered for at the final concert of the season with full orchestra and choir . The theme is ‘Last Night of the Proms’ and will feature all the usual ‘Prom’ favourites such as ‘Rule Britannia’, ‘Jerusalem’ and Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 [‘Land of Hope and Glory’] with the opportunity to join in the singing. The programme will also include Handel’s ‘Zadok the Priest’ and other choral gems by British composers, while the orchestra will play Walton’s Battle of Britain Suite, and Goodwin’s 633 Squadron. Gershwin’s Piano Concerto, with pianist Robert Thompson, will also be a hugely enjoyable feature of the concert. Mezzo soprano Susanne Dymott will also take part. Tickets £12/14, £6/7 students/children available from www.huntsphil.org.uk, 01480 375678 [school hours] and on the door.
