Season Finale: rich, exciting sound
Bring the whole family for a fun, musical romp during this not-to-be-missed season grand finale, inspired by the British “Proms”, the famous “come as you are” music extravaganza. Experience the romantic Phantom of the Opera medley for full orchestra, the inspiring “Nimrod” from Elgar’s Enigma Variations, and a showpiece for the combined strings of both orchestras, Vaughan Williams’ highly popular prelude, Rhosymedre, often called the “Lovely” (arr: Roger Finlay) plus music by Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Dvorak, Brahms, and Sibelius.
Hailed for their “rich exciting sound” that leaves audiences “breathless, yet eager for more.” (- Barbara Fear), the 80 musicians of Orchestra Kingston (music director, John Palmer) and Kingston Community Strings (music director, Hugh Johnston) combined bring a forty year history of concerts to Kingston audiences.
