An evening of iconic sporting themes to celebrate MK Dons SET 10th Birthday and MK50
To celebrate MK Dons SET 10th Birthday and Milton Keynes 50th Birthday, MK Dons SET presents an evening of iconic sporting themes along with a traditional ‘last night of the proms’ spectacular to be performed by Milton Keynes City Orchestra.
This event will take place in Arena:MK on Friday 17th November with the doors opening at 6.30 pm and the programme beginning at 7pm.
The support programme kicks off with a performance of the winning ‘Song for MK’ followed by many well-known (and some not-so-well known) songs with sporting connections
Conducted by Damian Iorio, the Orchestra’s programme will feature well known sporting themes, that we’ll be linking to local sporting milestones, such as Match of the Day; Ravel’s Bolero (Torvill and Dean’s music for their iconic gold medal winning routine from the 1984 Olympics); Chariots of Fire; Nessun Dorma (used as the Theme for Italia ’90 coverage) amongst others.
The finale will deliver a ‘Last Night at the Proms’ experience with rousing renditions of all the traditional favourites including Jerusalem; Rule Britannia; and, Pomp and Circumstance. It cannot fail to please and is the perfect pre-Christmas event and a great way to celebrate the SET’s and Milton Keynes’ birthdays.
