Ken Bruce presents an edition from the QEH on London鈥檚 Southbank with special guests Gary Wilmot, Sarah Fox and Radio 2 Young Brass Soloist Thomas Nielsen.
Friday Night is Music Night returns to the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London鈥檚 Southbank for a live edition. For more than 65 years 鈥� the programme 鈥� has been heralding the start of the weekend. First broadcast on Friday, 25th September 1953 on the 成人快手 Light Programme - the same year saw the Queen鈥檚 Coronation; the Conquest of Everest and the end of sweet rationing. The likes of Nat King Cole, Guy Mitchell and someone called Jimmy Young dominated the pop charts that year. The programme鈥檚 brief was and still is "to create a Friday-night show which would help people relax after the week's hard work and put them in the right mood for a happy weekend". It is the world鈥檚 longest running live orchestral music show . With the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra as it鈥檚 backbone, the heady mix of classical and popular works, film music, songs from the shows, opera and operetta has entertained millions of audiences across the globe.
Tonight the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra is conducted by its Principal Conductor Bramwell Tovey with special guests Gary Wilmot, Sarah Fox (soprano) and the winner of Radio 2鈥檚 Young Brass Award 鈥� 17 year old Thomas Nielsen(cornet). The show includes show tunes by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Frank Loesser, Jerome Kern and George Gershwin and Thomas Nielsen plays the sparkling Napoli by Bellstedt. Orchestral fireworks are provided as ever by the versatile 成人快手 Concert Orchestra 鈥� their repertoire includes Shostakovich鈥檚 Festive Overture and John Williams鈥� film music for Jurassic Park.
