North Devon Sinfonia Last Night of the Proms

North Devon Sinfonia Last Night of the Proms

Fri 20 Sep

Join extremely talented North Devon Sinfonia, on the Eve of Barnstaple Carnival as they bring the Last night of the Proms vibe to the centre of Town. Featuring an eclectic range of music, and rousing patriotic choruses.

The feature of the first half of the concert will be a tribute to Nigel brooks as the orchestra will play his Barnstaple fair suite, which will be extremely fitting as the annual fair will be in town. The second half of the concert will feature a mix of music culminating in Jerusalem and God Save the King.
  • Nigel Brooks – “Barnstaple Fair”
  • Elgar – Nimrod (from “Enigma Variations”) Pomp & Circumstance March No.1
  • Vaughan Williams – Folk Song Suite
  • Sibelius – Finlandia
  • Gershwin – “Summertime”; “I Got Rhythm”
  • Jerome Kern – “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man”
This concert has been made possible by Flourishing Barnstaple, a North Devon Council initiative which is supported by the Government’s cultural development fund, administered by Arts Council England.
