The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will join Nottingham Trent University (NTU) Choir at the Royal Concert Hall in April for an evening full of pop music hits.
The event ‘Symphonic Pops’ will feature epic tunes from popular artists such as Abba, Coldplay, Queen, Adele, Whitney Houston and more.
The NTU Choir and Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will also be joined by special guest vocalist Nicole Raquel Dennis who has starred in West End productions such as Dream Girls, The Book of Mormon and Dear Evan Hansen.
Nicole is an award-winning actress and singer from London who was also a semi-finalist on ITV’s ‘The Voice’ in 2019.
The NTU Choir was established in 2006 and is the largest music ensemble at the university, featuring students, staff and local community members. The NTU Choir has made many notable performances alongside leading UK orchestras, such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
Matthew Hopkins, Director of Music at Nottingham Trent University, who will also be conducting the concert, said:
“We are looking forward to welcoming the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra back to Nottingham. It is going to be a very exciting programme consisting of well-known pop classics performed like the audience will have never heard before. We are delighted to have Nicole Raquel Dennis as our special guest vocalist singing alongside our NTU Choir. It will be an excellent evening of musical entertainment.”
