The Lark Ascending, by Ralph Vaughan Williams, is today one of the best-loved pieces of classical music in the UK. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the composer, Suffolk Philharmonic Orchestra bring this glorious music within reach of everyone in Suffolk.

The Lark’s Flight over Suffolk tells the story of The Lark Ascending and of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s live, his triumphs and his disappointments, in music and words. The Lark Ascending features along with his Oboe Concerto and other captivating music by this outstanding and influential British composer.

As well as Ralph Vaughan Williams himself (played by an actor), there will be a small orchestra of 14 musicians, and outstanding soloists.

The Lark’s Flight is conceived and directed by conductor Leslie Olive.

Thursday 7th July 2022 at 7.30pm 

Please note that this performance has been cancelled. 

Angelos Epithemiou first surfaced as the oddball scorer in Shooting Stars and has since worked with the biggest names in UK comedy, including Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon and Tracey Ullman His numerous TV credits (Not Going Out, Friday Night Dinner, Coupling, House of Fools, My Family, The Armstrong and Miller Show, The Office and Yonderland) have made him one of the most recognizable comic actors on British TV. But it is his live shows with his high-octane off-the-wall humour, seemingly bottomless props bag and quick-witted interplay that have made him a legend on the stand-up scene.

Support comes from one of the off the success stories on the UK comedy circuit John Mann, whose charm and warmth belie the fact that his material covers the improbable (winter sports for pensioners) to the downright illegal (tips for the successful shoplifter).

Hosted once again by Suffolk’s own Louie Green and featuring slots for some rising comedy stars, this is another varied and packed evening of the best in live comedy.

Carpenters Gold is heading our way–it’s Yesterday Once More.

Immerse yourself in the unforgettable sound of the great sibling duo Richard and Karen Carpenter. From Close to You to Top of the World, all their chart-topping hits feature including We’ve Only Just Begun, Goodbye to Love, Please Mr Postman, For All We Know and Only Yesterday.

West End star Vikki Holland-Bowyer perfectly emulates Karen’s gorgeously rich vocals – and even gets behind the drums! The Carpenters’ on-stage light-hearted humour and chemistry is captured perfectly as Greg Stevenson effortlessly recreates Richard’s sublime piano playing and vocal harmonies, supported by the original sumptuous arrangements with a band oozing Seventies glitz. An evening packed with nostalgia and some of the most memorable songs of a golden age of pop, a startlingly faithful throwback to The Carpenters’ heyday.
