Originally booked for July, the concert was moved to the end of September due to
the pandemic.

And APO has also been shortlisted for the Inspiration category of the Royal
Philharmonic Society awards.

Andrew Taylor, APO’s music director, said: “When we launched the crowdfunder, we
naively thought that we would be able to schedule the concert in weeks or months.”

“Of course, the realities of the pandemic have meant that we’ve had to wait a lot
longer, and now everyone is so looking forward to hearing the amazing sound of a
large symphony orchestra again, with a brilliant programme partly selected by some
of the crowdfunder backers.”

The programme features contemporary music by Jessie Montgomery and Max
Charles Davies, alongside orchestral favourites by Dvorak, Faure, Delius and
Beethoven.

Starting at 5pm, tickets cost £22 for adults and £12 for concessions.
