The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra presents a sparkling concert of music for everyone from the Hippodrome, Great Yarmouth with soloists Rachel John, Andrew Littlemore & Zara Maia.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra conducted by George Jackson returns to the iconic Hippodrome in Great Yarmouth for a special Friday Night is Music Night concert celebrating the orchestra's long-standing Create Yarmouth residency. There’ll be songs from classic musicals performed by West End singing sensation Rachel John. The orchestra premieres two brand new commissions from locally-based young composers of the community arts group Freshly Greated, plus there'll be a taste of Fado – the passionate popular song from Portugal - with local singer Zara Maia. Naturally, there’ll be popular classics old and new, including The Dam Busters March, and a whole squadron of British favourites inspired by land, air and sea – as well as a spotlight on one of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra’s own stars, principal horn Andrew Littlemore.

Presented by Katie Derham and recorded at the Hippodrome, Great Yarmouth on 8 November 2024.
