Stephen Ellery in sports music concert

It was an exciting moment for orchestral music  lovers when world-acclaimed British conductor, Stephen Ellery led the National Symphony Orchestra last year in an exciting  performance of themes from famous films.

The  conductor  will be back in Accra on Saturday, April 12  for a special treat of orchestral music with theme songs from sports at the National Theatre.

The Public Relations manager of Souad Business Consult, Russel Coombs, organisers of the event said that the concert  has been  put together to whip up  interest in the National Symphony Orchestra  as well as satisfy the desires of  music lovers who rarely have the opportunity to enjoy such classics.

“The concert will be in two parts. The first part will deal with Olympics, boxing, track and field while the second part focuses on football which will bring out the excitement on the night,” Russel said.

Stephen Ellery is currently conductor  of the Locrian Ensemble, London and associate conductor of the English Concert Orchestra.

In addition to his many talents as a conductor, Stephen is also an accomplished saxophonist.

Tickets  for the concert are available at Koala, Maxmart, Airport Shell, National Theatre, Goethe Institut Bar & Grill and Batsonaa Total for GHC 70 (VIP), GHC 35 (Adult) and GHC 10 (Student).
