Bristol Metropolitan Orchestra, together with 250 male voices and local rising star violinist Emil Huckle-Kleve, presents a spectacular fundraising concert of popular vocal and orchestral classics.

All profits from this concert go to the 2011 Cots for Tots Appeal, supporting the Special Care Baby Unit at St. Michael's Hospital, Bristol.

The gala performance will be presented by well-known Bristol actor John Telfer (vicar Alan Franks in BBC Radio 4's The Archers). The programme also features violinist Emil Huckle-Kleve in a performance of Vaughan Williams's The Lark Ascending. Other works to be performed include Ireland's Epic March, Sibelius's Finlandia, Saint Saens' Danse Macabre and popular songs such as Rhythm of Life, and American Trilogy.

The 250 male voices joining Bristol Metropolitan Orchestra for the evening are from five of the principal male voice choirs in the South and West, namely Bristol, Avon and Somerset Constabulary, Cheddar, Basingstoke and Churchdown.

The concert has, as its rousing finale, Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, when the whole auditorium joins the stage to sing Land of Hope and Glory!

This event is being conducted by Bristol-based composer, orchestrator and conductor William Goodchild and choral director Steve Daykin.
