Scarborough Borough Council has announced that some of the biggest names in British classical music will perform a special tribute to the UK’s Armed Forces against the stunning backdrop of Scarborough Open Air Theatre next summer.
On Saturday, June 28, Welsh singer and television and radio broadcaster Aled Jones will host and perform in a spectacular Last Night of the Proms concert, featuring the Military Wives Choirs York, young mezzo soprano Laura Wright and Welsh male choral group Only Men Aloud. Musical accompaniment will be provided by the National Symphony Orchestra and the concert will finish with a grand firework finale.
The date has been chosen to coincide with national Armed Forces Day and the council has arranged for everyone buying a ticket for the concert to be able to make a voluntary donation to the national Armed Forces charity SSAFA.
Tickets are priced at £28 and are available from The Sands office in Scarborough’s North Bay. Tickets will also be sold by tourist information centres in Filey, Scarborough and Whitby. A £2 booking fee per ticket sold will apply.
