Love & War
The National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Anthony Inglis
Arundel Castle hosts an evening of orchestral fireworks
Making the classical music repertoire accessible to a huge new audience, the National Symphony Orchestra is bringing its distinctive brand of popular music-making to the festival.
The programme will include a medley of popular classics reflecting aspects of 'Love and War', ranging from the bombast of military march to the magic of a fairytale love story waltz.
Known for its enthusiastic playing and ability to connect with audiences, the NSO is one of the most sought-after orchestras in the UK. Busy in the recording studio the NSO has recorded more than 40 major classic musicals over the past five years.
The orchestra also plays a leading role in the trend towards musical style 'crossover' and has collaborated with many leading pop performers, including Sir Cliff Richard, Katherine Jenkins, Alesha, Goldfrapp, Sheryl Crow and Kanye West.
The Arundel open-air picnic concert will see the orchestra performing under the direction of one of the UK's most popular conductors, NSO music director Anthony Inglis.
He has conducted four royal concerts and appeared with some of the world's greatest orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, London Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic.
The NSO's versatility will be on show as it performs a programme of contrasts, ranging from Sousa's rumbustious march Stars and Stripes Forever to Barber's meditative Adagio, and Rimsky-Korsakov's enchanted Arabian Nights fantasy Sheherezade to the opening of the world's most famous symphony - Beethoven's Fifth. There will be a spectacular conclusion to the evening with the rousing 1812 overture by Tchaikovsky, complete with cannons, bells and a firework finale.
