Join Royal Wootton Bassett Orchestra on Saturday July 11 for a magical evening of music.

The orchestra will showcase music with a sprinkling of magic from well-known classics, film, musicals and pop. Wine and chilled soft drinks will be served in the interval.

Incredibly talented members of the orchestra will feature as soloists. Megan Bailey will perform The Dew Fairy from Hansel & Gretel by Humperdink and Jason Hoult will play the horn solo in Romance for Horn and Orchestra by Saint-Saens. 

Continuing the magical theme the orchestra will play:

  • Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on Greensleeves
  • Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty Waltz
  • Schwartz: Suite from Wicked
  • Shore: Lord of the Rings Suite
  • Mancini, Procul Harum, Beatles and much more.

RWBO is a well-established local orchestra who, under the guidance of Musical Director, Nicola Ashton, performs at least three concerts a year. Their last concert, London Calling, held in April in Malmesbury Abbey, and featuring Dominic Irving performing Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No1, was a sell-out success.

A spokesperson said: “We do hope you will join us for our Summer Concert. To find out more about the orchestra please visit our website or follow us on Facebook or Instagram.” 

The concert will take place July 11, 7:30pm in RWB academy, SN4 7HG.

Tickets are £10 for adults, 18s and under free, and are available from their website https://rwbo.org.uk/concert-diary/
