The 'Coventry City of Culture Orchestra’ project was born in 2021/22 and was started by Coventry Central Hall's Artist-in-Residence Seb Farrall. The project was created to celebrate our city through community music making. All funding for this magnificent project was from the The Methodist Church and Coventry Central Hall. Musical life continued after this funding ended, and our Celebration Concert on 10th June will be celebrating all that we do! 
 

Like our first Celebration Concert in April 2022, the especially-formed Festival Chorus will perform alongside the Coventry City of Culture Orchestra at Coventry Central Hall, and we are delighted to be producing another concert with similar musical forces!
 

2023 is also a special year in that we are due (or will have had, depending on when you read this) a coronation, and our concert is exactly one week before King Charle’s ‘Official’ Birthday, so we will have a nod to those Royal musical traditions.
 

We will be performing a wide variety of contrasting repertoire, ranging from Handel's Zadok the Priest to the Spice Girls' Spice Up Your Life!

Logistics:
The Central Hall Cafe will be open from 10.00am-6.30pm, enabling you to purchase refreshments before the warm-up acts begin at 6:30pm. The doors to the Main Hall will open at 6pm. The Central Hall Cafe does not have a card machine, so bring change.

Programmes will be available to purchase for £1 on entry to the Main Hall at Coventry Central Hall from the concert stewards. Cash would be preferred as card fees are proportionally high on an item costing £1!

Interval refreshments will be served in the Main Hall Vestibule on the first floor, and proceeds will support the Orchestra. 

Some concert stewards will have a card machine, should you not have any cash for tickets, programmes, or refreshments. We will have a very small float for change. 

The concert will have an interval at roughly 8:30 for 20 minutes, and the whole event will be finished no later than 10pm.
