Milton Keynes City Orchestra launches its new 2016-2017 season with a Movie Music Matinée on Sunday (November 6) featuring well-known music from many of our best loved films spanning the generations.
Music from Superman, Harry Potter, Out of Africa, Chariots of Fire, Star Wars, Schindler’s List, The Great Escape and plenty more will air at the concert, at MK Theatre.
In 2017 all MKCO concerts have been chosen as MK50 anniversary celebration main events, for their performance quality, diversity and for the first class soloists they bring to MK to perform with the City’s own professional orchestra.
There will be performances from amazing soloists from around the world, featuring Classic FM favourites Craig Ogden playing the Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez, Mr Ji Lui performing in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Raphael Wallfisch, one of the most celebrated cellists performing the Haydn Cello Concerto No.1.
Violinist Anna Liisa Bezrodny will return to MK and perform the Mozart Violin Concerto and Hyenoon Park, a sparkling new talent will perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto on June 9, before the Proms in Campbell Park on August 18 closes the season.
The 2016-2017 Programme of concerts marks the third season for Damian Iorio as music director.
“His work has made an astonishing difference to the quality of our performance and the choice of repertoire, pleasing classical fans at every stage of their musical appreciation,” said MKCO chairman Marian Livingstone.
