CLEETHORPES new events arena will play host to the hugely popular classical open-air concert on Saturday, August 23 at 7.30pm – an event which continues to grow year-on-year. Advanced adult tickets are priced at £16.00 and can be purchased on the evening for £18.00. Childrens tickets cost £10.00 (booking/transaction fee may apply).

Tickets are available from the Tourist Information Centre at Cleethorpes Library, Caxton Box Office at Grimsby Library and Grimsby Auditorium Box Office.

The concert forms part of the Arts Forum Festival 2008 which showcases local, national and international art and cultural practitioners.

 Returning by popular demand, Manchester Camerata will take centre stage at the arena for a night of wonderful classical music – Cleethorpes very own proms.

Manchester Camerata has been presenting live music for over thirty-five years and has established an enviable reputation as an orchestra which delivers high quality concerts in a refreshingly relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

As always, the concert will be brought to an extravagant close with a spectacular firework finale.

Tickets are now on sale for the concert which promises to provide an evening of entertainment for the whole family.

Conducting the 51-piece orchestra is Timothy Redmond, whose programme blends known ballet favourites with popular songs from various operas, finishing with a rousing finale in the traditional Last Night of the Proms style.

With pieces from Tchaikovskys Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake; through to favourites like Jerusalem, 1812 Overture, Elgars Pomp and Circumstance March No1 (Land of Hope and Glory) the audience will have a good flag waving time!
