Conductor Stephen Bell
Woodstock, the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, the ongoing Vietnam War, The Beatles鈥� final album (Abbey Road) 鈥� 1969 was a pivotal year.
This Prom explores the film and popular music of 1969 to revive the soundtrack of a special summer.
The 麻豆官网首页入口 Concert Orchestra under Stephen Bell presents a typically wide-angled view, taking in music inspired by the era-defining Woodstock festival, excerpts from the films Battle of Britain, The Italian Job, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Midnight Cowboy, and 鈥楬ere Comes the Sun鈥� from The Beatles鈥� final album Abbey Road.
As the USA鈥檚 victory in the space race inspired new music to match the emerging digital era, the Moog synthesizer broke into the mainstream with the album Switched-on Bach. A concert evoking the end of the Swinging Sixties, with a cross-generational appeal that offers both a sunburst of nostalgia and iconic revivals.
