YolanDa Brown presents a special concert from the Hippdrome Circus in Great Yarmouth featuring the Â鶹Éç Concert Orchestra, conducted by Stephen Bell, with special guests, Mercury Prize nominated folk musician Sam Lee, and singer/songwriter Georgia Cécile.

Held as part of the Â鶹Éç’s Go Green initiative, this is a musical celebration of ‘Our World’ and features a diverse range of styles and sounds ranging from the Moths and Butterflies as depicted by Edward Elgar in his 'Wand Of Youth Suite', Eric Coates’ 'Sleepy Lagoon', known to millions as the Desert Island Discs theme since the programme launched in 1942, to Nitin Sawhney’s dramatic modern day score for the Â鶹Éç’s groundbreaking natural history TV series, ‘Human Planet’.

Sam Lee plays a unique role in the British music scene. A highly inventive and original singer, folk song interpreter, passionate conservationist and song collector, Sam has broken the boundaries between folk and contemporary music, bringing his work to new audiences through appearances on programmes including the Â鶹Éç’s 'Later... With Jools Holland' and NPR’s Tiny Desk sessions in the US. In this concert, Sam celebrates his love of the natural world with a set showcasing his own band alongside the Â鶹Éç Concert Orchestra.

Georgia Cécile has quickly become a favourite performer in the jazz world with appearances at festivals throughout the UK, guesting at the Royal Albert Hall in 2021 with Gregory Porter, and at the 2022 Cheltenham Jazz Festival with the Â鶹Éç Concert Orchestra. Georgia explores the theme of ‘Our World’ in popular song with classics including 'Lazy Afternoon', 'A Sleepin’ Bee' and 'It’s So Peaceful in the Country'.

Presented in association with Orchestras Live and Create Yarmouth.
