Get ready for a blockbuster evening of musical entertainment as the York Light Orchestra presents their ‘Friday Night at the Movies’ concert at Stockton on the Forest Village Hall on Friday 20th November. Running from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, this charity event promises a journey through the silver screen, bringing to life some of the most well-recognised and beloved pieces from the worlds of cinema, television, and West End musicals. Whether you are a fan of epic cinematic soundtracks, nostalgic TV themes, or show-stopping musical numbers, this packed programme has been specially curated to ensure there is something for all the family to enjoy. The orchestra will be conducted by the wonderful Marcus Bousfield who will also be performing a spectacularly moving solo of the iconic ‘Schindler’s List’ theme, and will also be joined by the incredible Sing and Sign Maestros.
Best of all, entry to the event is completely free, making it the perfect opportunity to gather your family, round up your neighbours, and enjoy a top-tier night of entertainment right on your doorstep. While tickets are not required for admission, the evening holds a much deeper purpose. The community is coming together to raise money for Jessie’s Fund, an incredible UK charity that helps children with additional complex needs or serious illnesses communicate through the powerful medium of music.
To help support this wonderful cause, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved and show your generosity throughout the evening including donations on the door. Attendees can also look forward to a raffle featuring an exciting selection of prizes and a range of refreshments will also be available in the interval.
Mark your calendars, spread the word, and make sure you don’t miss out on this fantastic evening of music, community spirit, and charity fundraising. Doors open just before 7:00pm at the Stockton on the Forest Village Hall on Friday 20th November. Come along for the iconic tunes, stay for the wonderful atmosphere, and help us make a difference for an incredible cause. We look forward to seeing you there for a truly unforgettable Friday night at the movies!
