The splendour of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra onstage in a
Sunday morning concert of radiant classics and beautiful melodies is always a
highlight for Royal Show visitors. This year those attending will not be
disappointed. With a theme of London
Calling, the programme returns to the esteemed agricultural show's Royal
heritage with a totally British theme. Exploring the idea of London as a
cultural centre through the centuries, the annual KZN Philharmonic Orchestra
performance at the Royal Show, now in its fourth year, is presented by the
Royal Show on June 7 at 10h30.
Visiting New York conductor Daniel Boico directs the
orchestra and soloists for this grand performance. The concert will begin
dramatically with the iconic Dambusters
March accompanied by the closing moments of the Harvard’s aerial display in
the skies above the arena. The orchestra’s programme includes George Frederic Handel's
Music for the Royal Fireworks,
Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March, Nimrod and Salut d'amour. Star vocalists Shelley Maclean and local singing
sensation Andrew Butler will delight audiences with a selection of songs from classic
West-End musicals including Les
Misérables, Evita and Phantom of the Opera. The concert is
hosted by popular broadcaster, raconteur and sports personality Andy
Capostagno.
Made possible with support from The Witness, The Royal Symphony: London Calling will
be presented by the Royal Show on the Great Stage of the Main Arena on June 7 at
10h30. Limited seating will be provided in the Main Arena and on the
Grandstands. It is recommended that patrons bring hats and/or umbrellas should
it be a warm day.
