A Royal Music Celebration

Barry Wordsworth conducts the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra in a programme of music written for royal occasions, including Handel's Zadok the Priest, Parry's I Was Glad and a song by Henry VIII.

The Royal Albert Hall is in a particularly regal mood, as Clive Myrie, with special guests, presents a Prom of music written for royal occasions in honour of the Queen鈥檚 platinum jubilee.

Conductor Barry Wordsworth leads the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra and 大象传媒 Singers in a varied programme featuring works by the very best British composers from across the last 500 years. Expect triumphant trumpet fanfares, soaring choruses and glorious organ playing, with particular highlights including Handel鈥檚 ever-popular coronation anthem Zadok the Priest, Parry鈥檚 I Was Glad, which ushered the Duchess of Cambridge down the aisle, and even a song written by Henry VIII.
