The orchestra once again opened proceedings at the Keynsham Music Festival with a "Proms in the Park" concert. The first half of the programme was titled "Magic, Devilish Sorcery and Mystery"! The second half was a traditional "Last Night of the Proms" programme. This was a repeat of a concert that the orchestra gave at Downside School Theatre on the 4th June entitled "Proms and Pimms". It was organised by the local Rotary and Inner Wheel clubs in association with Bristol Water. There were a few differences in the programmes of the two concerts and these are outlined below. The programme was as follows:
Overture from Orpheus in the Underworld
Offenbach
Dance Macabre
Sant Seans
Harry Potter Symphonic Suite
John Williams
Night on a Bare Mountain
Mussorgsky
London Suite
Eric Coates
The Dambusters March
Eric Coates
Fantasia on British Sea Songs
Arr. Henry Wood
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1
Elgar
Jerusalem
Parry
For the concert at Downside School, the orchestra were joined by Stella Cadente. In the first half, they performed Locus Iste by Bruckner and Ave Maris Stella by Grieg. In the second half, they performed A Nightingale sang in Berkley Square and led the singing in the last three pieces of the programme. For the Keynsham Proms in the Park concert, the orchestra was once again joined by Angharad Watkeys. She performed Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas by Purcell and The Vilia Song, from The Merry Widow, by Lehar. Angharad then led the singing in the second half.
