About This Event

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Proms in the Park in Northern Ireland has secured Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway, internationally acclaimed percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie and sensational virtuoso violinist, Daniel Hope. The evening is further enhanced by one of the world’s biggest names in musical theatre, Ruthie Henshall. The multi-award winning singer and actress is best known for her lead roles in productions such as Chicago, Billy Elliot and Les Miserables which she has played on Broadway and London’s West End.

Fermanagh-born actor Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty), joins the stellar line-up and will be accompanied on the night by young harpist Richard Allen, one of the winners of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Northern Ireland/Arts Council for Northern Ireland Young Musicians’ Platform Awards. The line-up is completed by an appearance of the acclaimed Irish ensemble, Anúna.

The concert is ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Northern Ireland’s biggest outside broadcast event of the year. It offers both home-grown and international talent performing alongside the Ulster Orchestra under the baton of David Brophy.
