Dazzling Darley Park Concert set to return this summer

Derby LIVE has confirmed that the Darley Park Concert – performed by Sinfonia Viva – will return this year, marking the grand finale of The Darley Park Weekender.

The concert, on Sunday 23 August, will round off three days of live music at the park.

This year’s programme will feature music from dramatic films and magical musicals, including Apollo 13 and Beauty and the Beast, alongside firm classical favourites by Mozart and Tchaikovsky.

Councillor Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council, said: “The Darley Park Concert is a jewel in our city’s summer, bringing the community together in a way few other events can. There is something truly magical about hearing the world-class Sinfonia Viva under the open sky.”

Lucy Galliard, chief executive of Sinfonia Viva, said: “The Darley Park Concert is a real highlight of Sinfonia Viva’s annual programme of performances.

“The combination of the stunning surroundings of Darley Park, the energy and appreciation of the wonderful audience, and the fabulous selection of orchestral music make this a very special event.”

The Darley Park Weekender kicks off on Friday 21 August with Billy Ocean and special guest Martin Pellow, while the headliners on Saturday 22 August will be JLS.
