About This Event

S'wonderful, s’marvellous…but when Friday Night is Music Night, life is always glamorous and today, live from Alexandra Palace, presenter Petroc Trelawny, conductor Stephen Bell and the full ѿý Concert Orchestra take you dancing all around the world.

Glinka’s firecracker of an overture lights the touchpaper; then we’re off to Tchaikovsky’s St Petersburg, Strauss’s Vienna and the Shakespearean wonderland of Joby Talbot. Gordon Langford takes a whirl on a Broadway carousel, Joni Mitchell looks at Both Sides Now and Barry “Thunderbirds” Gray goes ever so slightly cuckoo. Tune after tune after tune – and that’s barely the half of it.

With cabaret and West End legend Alison Jiear wrapping her unforgettable voice round hit songs from Sister Act, Funny Face and A Star is Born, everything’s set for an evening of melodies to light up the sky.
