WELCOME TO CLASSICS IN THE PARK

Please note: if you've bought tickets for our concert and noticed that they're numbered, and you're on Row PP seat 1000, don't worry! It's just an administrative error at the Box Office; you can still bring a picnic and sit where you like (providing you come early enough). Nothing about our concert has changed this year, except the music and we're still offering a complete package of classic entertainment!

ALL CHANGE FOR 2009!

It's all change at Classics in the Park, for the concert that will take place at Brantingham Park on July 11th this year.

Out go violins, violas and Vivaldi - in come trumpets, trombones and toe-tappers from the classic big band repertoire and from the same people who've consistently brought you quality classical music, comes the very cream of the Big Band world. Classics in the Park is proud to present The Syd Lawrence Orchestra in a programme of swing from the 40's to the present day.

Recently voted "Best Big Band in the Land" for the 11th consecutive year, Chris Dean's SYD LAWRENCE ORCHESTRA thrills audiences in concert halls, theatres, and music festivals all over the UK.  With Big Band Swing and Classic Dance Music, the Orchestra's repertoire ranges from the wartime million sellers of Glenn Miller through the era of Count Basie to the hit songs of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. Count Basie himself described the Syd Lawrence Orchestra as "So good it should be Banned!".

Classics in The Park expect to consider a range of promotions to raise funds for both The Daisy Appeal & South Hunsley School in the future and it's hoped that they will produce classical concerts again.

Tickets are now available from the Hull City Hall Box Office...£18 in advance and £23 on the gate.  For further details of this exciting new venture for Classics in The Park call 07931 780454 or 01482 586969 or download the flyer from this site.
