THE Great British Proms Spectacular tomorrow night will celebrate ten years of Proms Spectacular concerts at Castle Howard.

Exuberant conductor Jae Alexander will be on baton duty for the English National Orchestra’s programme of popular themes, movie themes and favourites associated with The Last Night Of The Proms concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Tenor soloist Wynne Evans will sing Lara’s Granada, Rodgers’ With A Song In My Heart, Novello’s My Life Belongs To You and Puccini’s Nessun Dorma. Soprano Janet Mooney’s solo pieces will be Lehar’s On My Lips, Bizet’s Habinera, the Irish lament Danny Boy and songs from Bernstein and Sondheim’s West Side Story. Evans and Mooney will unite for Verdi’s Brindisi.

The Proms night also will feature the James Pearson Trio, a jazz combo led by pianist James Pearson, artistic director of Ronnie Scott’s jazz club in London. Pearson’s contributions will include the last movement of a Rachmaninov Piano Concerto.

The orchestra will perform Glinka’s Ruslan & Ludmilla Overture, Goodwin’s Battle Of Britain and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, and once darkness descends, the Best of British will take centre stage. Special effects will light up the sky for Walton’s Crown Imperial.

The night’s finale will combine the usual Last Night suspects, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, Arne’s Rule Britannia, Parry’s Jerusalem and Elgar’s Pomp & Circumstance March No 1, with John Williams’s Star Wars Theme, Offenbach’s Can Can and Strauss’s Radetsky March.

A Spitfire fly-by will be another nostalgic British feature and the night’s celebrations would not be complete without thousands of fireworks – more than ever before – lighting up the skies above Ryedale.
