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.
