SCARBOROUGH Spa Orchestra is getting ready to whirl its audiences into the new year.
Traditionally, Scarborians flock to the Spa to enjoy the legendary Spa Orchestra’s New Year’s Day afternoon concert. This year’s concert “A Viennese Whirl” will take place at the Grand Hall, at 3pm.
As always, the programme will be made up of well-known Viennese pieces by the Strauss family and other popular composers who found fame and fortune in the city of Vienna.
And it is in that city that the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will set the musical festivities rolling on January 1 with a morning concert which is beamed around the world.
That is the signal for every major orchestra world-wide to present their own Viennese performance, and the Scarborough Spa Orchestra is no exception.
Dominic Stokes, of Scarborough Spa, said: “As in Vienna, the Spa Orchestra’s New Year’s Day Concert is now something of a tradition and is a great way to start 2014.”
Tickets are now on sale from www.scarboroughspa.co.uk or via The Spa box office 01723 821888 priced at £12.50 and £11.50 for concessions.
