Andrew Storey (piano) will accompany the singers throughout, and in the song I Want Magic from André Previn’s musical A Streetcar Named Desire, the clarinet will be played by Tony Donovan. Doors will open at 3.45pm and there will be an interval when light refreshments will be available. The audience are asked to remain masked if possible. During the concert there will be a short presentation made by Kate Kent, chairman of Coro Nuovo, explaining The Young Sussex Musician Competition, where the judge this year was Sakari Oramo, chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. Sakari conducted the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms this year.
