The Bardi Wind Orchestra has had a busy 30th Anniversary year. With the Jubilee Proms in the Park, attended by over 5,000 people, and the De Montfort Hall Jubilee celebrations the Orchestra are concluding their 30th year with a much anticipated return of the Bardi Wind Christmas Festival.
After two years away, the Orchestra are excited to return to Holy Trinity Church, on Regent Road, for their traditional festive celebration. For many, it’s not quite Christmas until the Bardi Wind announce the season with Leroy Anderson’s A Christmas Festival, a pot pourri of carol tunes setting the tone for the evening ahead.
This year’s concert has an added treat with a particular focus on music from favourite festive films including Home Alone, Harry Potter, Frozen, The Polar Express, The Snowman, The Nightmare Before Christmas, White Christmas and more.
Familiar traditions will also return though with readings from former BBC Radio Leicester presenter John Florance, and carols and Christmas hits featuring vocals from soprano Nicky Bingham and compère Colin Blackler. Truly a fantastic evening to look forward to for all the family!
