Christmas at Ally Pally
Ken Bruce serves up a Festive Feast with guests Alfie Boe, the 大象传媒 Radio 2 Choristers of 2018 and with songs from "The Christmasaurus" - Tom Fletcher
Ken Bruce serves up a Festive Feast with guests Alfie Boe, the 大象传媒 Radio 2 Choristers of 2018 - Cassian Pichler-Roca and Emilia Jaques - and with songs from his magical musical story "The Christmasaurus" - Tom Fletcher.
In tonight's programme, recorded at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra and conductor Richard Balcombe perform the "Troika" from "Lieutenant Kije" by Prokofiev; "Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson and excerpts from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker".
Tonight's special guests include tenor Alfie Boe, who joins the orchestra in a selection of favourites; and making their Sunday Night is Music Night debuts, the two winners of the 大象传媒 Radio 2 Young Chorister competition 2018 - 13 year old Cassian Pichler-Roca from Cheltenham and 16 year old Emilia Jaques from Thirsk. They perform a selection of Christmas carols and duet on John Rutter's "The Angel's Carol".
Tom Fletcher is a musician, singer, composer, author and vlogger but perhaps best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of pop band McFly. In 2016 he wrote his first children's book and bestseller "The Christmasaurus" about a young boy called William Trundle. Tom added songs to the book and a musical version was premiered in 2017. William Trundle loves dinosaurs more than anything in the world and so he asks Santa for a dinosaur for Christmas. On Christmas Eve William finds the amazing Christmasaurus in his bedroom, and is soon off on a magical adventure complete with snow, elves, flying reindeer and, of course, Santa Claus himself.
During the interval Ken Bruce dons his hard hat to find out about the restoration of the Alexandra Palace Theatre and more about the 大象传媒's history at this remarkable building.
First broadcast in 2018.
