"As the
light fades, the excitement builds, the fireworks explode and the cheers
from five thousand people merge with the sound of one of the country�s
finest orchestras.
It�s an unbeatable combination: the virtuosic Manchester
Camerata, a selection of everyone�s favourite music, stunning fireworks
and the magnificent setting of Cholmondeley Castle."
"This
summer�s concert will be my eleventh with the Manchester Camerata at
Cholmondeley Castle. And the reason we come back every year is the same
reason so many choose Cholmondeley every year: the atmosphere!
Each year we choose a different theme for the concert. There�s always something from stage or screen, favourites from the opera or ballet, well-loved classical items and � of course � a Last Night of the Proms finale. Last year we were delighted to be joined in Tchaikovsky�s 1812 Overture by a brace of the loudest field guns one could wish for, to make for a really explosive ending!
I really hope you will be with us to be part of this thrilling experience next summer.�
