Join the South Cheshire Orchestra for an uplifting afternoon of live music, featuring stirring overtures, charming English melodies, and a rousing finale in honour of a historic occasion.

Our programme opens with the delightful Arcadians Overture by Lionel Monckton and the warm, nostalgic Miniature Suite by Eric Coates — two gems of British light music. We then turn to the world of myth and theatre with Beethoven’s dynamic Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, the dramatic Pique Dame Overture, and Friedrich von Flotow’s tuneful Martha Overture.

We round off the concert with two powerful statements: Haydn’s jubilant ‘London’ Symphony and Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, performed as a tribute to the 80th anniversary of VE Day — a moment to reflect, remember, and celebrate the enduring spirit of that generation.

Whether you’re a classical music enthusiast or simply looking for an inspiring afternoon out, this concert offers something for everyone.
