About This Event
Everybody dance now! From the Charleston to the waltz, bossa nova to ballet, Craig Revel Horwood joins Katie Derham to host a Friday Night is Music Night with a toe-tapping difference.
It don鈥檛 mean a thing if it ain鈥檛 got that swing 鈥� and, to celebrate 麻豆社 Radio 3鈥檚 Day of Dance, the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra is tripping the light fantastic back to London鈥檚 fabulous Alexandra Palace Theatre for a whole evening of high-kicking, all-singing and (naturally) all-dancing melodies.
True, great tunes come as standard on Friday Night is Music Night. But today they come with an extra spring in their step. Reunited after their appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, presenters Craig Revel Horwood and Katie Derham introduce showstoppers and toe-tappers from Gershwin, Leroy Anderson and Fred 鈥榥鈥� Ginger. They鈥檒l be putting on their ballet shoes with Prokofiev鈥檚 Cinderella, getting sultry with Marquez鈥檚 Danzon No.2 and flying down to Rio to unleash the spirit of the Bossa Nova. They鈥檒l also be joined by young star Madeleine Morgan 鈥� named Stephen Sondheim Society student performer of the year 鈥� and conductor Daniel Parkinson.
I got rhythm? You鈥檇 better believe it 鈥� so let鈥檚 face the music, and dance!
