Join us in St Nicholas’s Church, North Walsham on 5th July 2025 at 7.00 p.m. for the Last Night of the Proms.
The programme will include all the usual favourites plus Stanford’s Songs of the Fleet.
Flag waving of any kind will be welcome, whether that is the Union Jack, the EU flag, the Pride flag or the Norfolk flag, in celebration of great music enjoyed by people of all nations and creeds.
Songs of the Fleet was composed in 1910 as a sequel to the Songs of the Sea and is a setting of poems by Henry Newbolt. With its quasi-operatic characterisations and dramatic retelling of the story of Richard Grenville’s heroic battle against the Spanish fleet in 1591, it’s easy to see why The Revenge was such a huge success across Britain after its first performance in 1886.
