The Warwickshire Symphony Orchestra’s annual Family Concert is an established favourite and this year promises to be even livelier than usual, with cannons, magical spells, fighter planes and animals all featuring in the musical line-up, and with audience participation an important part of the show.
The programme will be conducted and introduced by the orchestra’s associate conductor Paul Leddington Wright, familiar to many through his work on BBC Songs of Praise, as well as his long-standing role as director of the Saint Michael’s Singers of Coventry Cathedral.

Orchestra chair Raymond Joyce, who is also principal horn player said: “We will be attempting to lift the roof off the Spa Centre in our latest family concert. It is always a hugely enjoyable occasion and we love entertaining our audience, young and old, and encouraging them to take part.”
The concert starts at 3pm.
