Sea songs, Fado and classic West End musicals: the BBC Concert
Orchestra comes to Great Yarmouth for a very special Friday Night Is Music
Night – BBC Radio 3’s legendary celebration of great tunes, good times and that
unmistakable Friday feeling. And tonight, conductor George Jackson and the BBC
Concert Orchestra bring you an evening of music from home and away.
There’ll be hits from
the West End musicals with singing sensation Rachel John, something new from
the locally-based stars of Freshly Grated, plus a taste of fado with singer
Zara Maia – the passionate popular song from Portugal. And naturally, there’ll
be popular classics old and new, including The Dam Busters, the Champagne Polka
and a whole squadron of British favourites inspired by land, air and sea – as
well as a spotlight on one of the BBC Concert Orchestra’s own stars, horn
player Andrew Littlemore.
