BOURNEMOUTH Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in style with the BSO at a bank holiday fireworks party on Monday June 4.
Meyrick Park will resound with the best classical and film music – plus of course a fantastic firework display.
The Orchestra has played throughout the reigns of no less than six monarchs – when it first played in Bournemouth, nearly 120 years ago, Queen Victoria was on the throne.
Since then it has provided part of the musical landscape of Britain for King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI – and throughout the sixty years of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. So it definitely deserves a party!
From John Williams to Disney, and Elgar to Wagner there is something for everyone in this concert of favourites, played live from the giant shell stage in Bournemouth’s green and pleasant Meyrick Park .
Conductor Anthony Inglis is in charge as the orchestra plays music that celebrates the Olympics; James Bond; Britain’s maritime history; Desert Island Discs; the Last Night of the Proms and film music of all kinds.
