BBC Concert Orchestra - Friday Night is Music Night
 Fri 28 March
Royal Concert Hall
Ever heard a good tune on the TV and wondered where it came from? The answer’s probably here, as the BBC Concert Orchestra brings the BBC’s long-running radio show Friday Night is Music Night to Nottingham for a celebration of TV classics.
Sibelius, Prokofiev, Rossini and Saint-Saëns never knew that they’d composed the theme tunes to The Sky at Night, The Apprentice, The Lone Ranger and Jonathan Creek! Other pieces were created for the TV, but have become classics in their own right - like Poldark, Downton Abbey, Inspector Morse and Game of Thrones. But they’re all here tonight, along with music from Pride and Prejudice, Monty Python, The Onedin Line and many more.
