This programme explores how composers have made their views heard about current and historical events. From Beethoven's Eroica Symphony originally dedicated to Napoleon, Shostakovitch's response to composing under the Soviet Regime to Sibelius' desire for freedom for the Finnish people and Copland's powerful 'Fanfare for the Common Man'. Closer to home, we also commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre with Arnold's Peterloo Overture. PRE-CONCERT TALK 6.30PM included

Join us for a popular programme of music with something for everyone from Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream to 'My Fair Lady' and of course, all your Last Night of the Proms favourites. With singing led by Poulton People's Choir this concert promises to raise the roof. Website: www.blackpoolsymphony.co.uk Facebook @blackpoolsymphony
