AMI Last Night of the Proms

Dig out your party-best, and warm up those vocal chords. AMI Last Night of the Proms will be a night to remember!

Dazzling line-up:
Conductor: Kenneth Young
Soloists: Deborah Wai Kapohe and Rebecca Ryan
MC: David McPhail
City of Dunedin Choir

Southern Sinfonia’s already popular annual AMI Last Night of the Proms will draw the crowds with the dazzling line-up of fabulous sopranos Deborah Wai Kapohe and Rebecca Ryan, who will perform "The Cat Duet" – a very funny altercation between two cats.

Master of Ceremonies David McPhail of “McPhail and Gadsby” fame will be joined by one of New Zealand’s leading conductors, Kenneth Young returning after his popular reception at last year’s Proms.

Also performing will be this year’s most outstanding university performance student Bassoonist Joseph Donnelly. And, as usual, the Southern Sinfonia and The City of Dunedin Choir will be decked out in red, white and blue, reflecting the original British Last Night of the Proms colours.

Traditional Proms items will feature in the second half: "Rule Britannia,"Jerusalem, Fantasia on British Sea Songs, and Pomp and Circumstance. And of course there are prizes for the best dressed Promenaders, kindly donated by the Scenic Hotel Southern Cross (dinner, bed and breakfast for two at the Southern Cross).

The competition for “The Guest Conductor” will be run at the Regent Booking Office as usual – the winner of which will conduct the orchestra for an item during the concert.
