Family Prom : Fire and Ice!
Performance
Sat, 25 Jan 2025: 6:00pm View details | Book tickets
The NPO’s Family Prom this year is a battle between those two elemental forces…..Fire and Ice!
Fiery, exciting music that will warm you up includes Fawkes the Phoenix from John Williams’ score for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a rhythmic Conga del Fuego, The Infernal Dance from Stravinsky’s The Firebird and the theme from Chariots of Fire. Along the way there’s a musical trip on the Polar Express and a Troika (sleigh ride) courtesy of Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kije, plus the Dance of the Tumblers from The Snowmaiden, the Skater’s Waltz and Let it Go from Frozen!
With music for all the family, there surely is no better way to banish those winter blues than joining the NPO for some orchestral fire and ice!
Presented by Aled Jones
Conducted by Mark Heron

Spring Sibelius
Performance
Sun, 9 Mar 2025: 3:00pm View details | Book tickets
We are delighted to welcome RNCM concerto competition winner, Andy Deng, to perform Prokofiev's technically formidable 2nd piano concerto.
Described as a “composer of uncommon gifts and unusual methods” in a New York Times profile and as “fearless” by NPR, Grammy-nominated Anna Clyne is one of the most in-demand composers today, working with orchestras, choreographers, filmmakers, and visual artists around the world. www.annaclyne.com
Composer's Notes
The opening to This Midnight Hour is inspired by the character and power of the lower strings of L'Orchestre national d'Île de France. From here, it draws inspiration from two poems – one by Charles Baudelaire and another by Juan Ramón Jiménez. . Whilst it is not intended to depict a specific narrative, my intention is that it will evoke a visual journey for the listener.
Sibelius's 2nd symhony, with its grandiose finale, completes the programme.

Summer in Southwell
Performance
Sat, 5 Jul 2025: 7:30pm View details | Book tickets
Callum Smart and Ben Goldscheider have been regular visitors to Nottinghamshire, having both performed as soloists with the NPO in Southwell Minster and the Albert Hall. We are delighted to welcome them back and this time they will be performing together in Ethel Smyth's concerto for violin and French Horn.
Martin Ellerby will need no introduction to Nottinghamshire, as he was born in nearby Worksop. His music has been broadcast and recorded all over the world by leading ensembles and performed at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Barbican and Wigmore Halls in London. A 7 year post as civilian composer-in-residence to the Regimental Band of Her Majesty’s Coldstream Guards resulted in much music for specific State events, Royal occasions and overseas tours. www.martinellerby.com
Walton's 1st symphony will end our season; a work which shows the influence of Sibelius in its musical structure.
