MfE’s Sunday Afternoon Big Band and Flute Choir will also be performing in the Osborne Suite before the concert.

Opening with a brilliant new fanfare for choir and brass – Hail, Bright Cecilia! – to celebrate MfE’s 40th Birthday, the concert also includes ‘O Fortuna’ from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ from Handel’s Messiah, excerpts from Elgar’s Serenade for Strings and music by Rodgers and Hammerstein and Queen. All to say a special ‘THANK YOU’ to Angela Kay for 40 years of outstanding music-making in the East Midlands.
