Description
The Festival’s signature opening-night gala returns once again with its epoch-spanning celebration of singing and song. The list of past guests stretches from Georgie Fame, Natalie Merchant, Kurt Elling and Sheila Jordan, through to singer-of-the moment Gregory Porter and pop figures Paloma Faith and The Noisettes’ Shingai Shoniwa.
Arranged, scored and conducted by Guy Barker, this year’s extravaganza will see a brand new clutch of singers and a 40-piece orchestra mark the major anniversaries, birthdays and milestones that link the decades stretching back from 2012.
