A Musical Feast for August Bank Holiday

London’s famous season of Prom concerts is currently underway; this significant event in British culture and classical music has been described as ‘the world’s largest and most democratic musical festival’.

Originally, promenade audiences would stroll around while the orchestra played. However, for our Bank Holiday Prom at St. Michael’s in Bath on 24 August, everyone will have a very comfortable seat to enjoy a fabulous line-up of classical music.

One of the highlights of the evening will be a performance of Handel’s much-loved Coronation Anthem Zadok the Priest which was performed at the coronation of King Charles III.

Also on the programme will be Parry’s majestic I was Glad, Bizet‘s Habanera from Carmen, Holst’s I vow to thee my country, Stanley’s Trumpet Voluntary and Arne’s Rule Britannia.

This magnificent candlelit programme of orchestral and choral music will also star award-winning soprano Emilie Parry-Williams.
