From The Apprentice to Game of Thrones, Poldark to Pride and Prejudice, the BBC Concert Orchestra brings TV’s best-loved tunes to Nottingham with Radio 3’s Friday Night is Music Night: TV Classics.
Ever heard a good tune on the TV and wondered where it came from? The answer’s probably here, as the BBC Concert Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Anna-Maria Helsing bring the BBC’s long-running radio show Friday Night is Music Night to Nottingham for a celebration of TV classics – live in concert.
Some classical music could have been written for the telly: Sibelius, Prokofiev, Rossini and Saint-Saëns never knew that they’d composed the theme tunes to The Sky at Night, The Apprentice, The Lone Ranger and Jonathan Creek! Other pieces were created for the TV, but have become classic in their own right – like the themes from Poldark, Downton Abbey, Inspector Morse and Game of Thrones. But they’re all here tonight, along with music from Pride and Prejudice, Monty Python, The Onedin Line and many, many more. And if you think they sound good in your living room, just wait till you hear them played live…
