BARROW has voted which pieces they would like played by the Northern Chamber Orchestra.

After visiting Barra Culture’s Playcation events in August, the public of Barrow have been voting for the music they would like to hear Northern Chamber Orchestra perform next month at The Forum as part of BarrowMusic week #Barrowmusic.

The winning pieces that topped the vote are: Mamma Mia, Bittersweet Symphony, Fly me to the Moon and Rather Be.

Players from the Northern Chamber Orchestra delighted young and old alike on their recent visit to Barrow, where they performed in community centres and fields across the borough at the Barra Culture Playcations.

Helen, Marketing Manager of Barra Culture, said: "It was such a treat to have classical music brought out to the streets in Barrow, where the players could chat to locals passing by and the public spaces be brought alive by music. Looking forward to seeing the full orchestra in the Forum after such a long time without live performances."

You can hear Northern Chamber Orchestra perform Barrow’s choices in a concert of uplifting, exuberant music on October 2 2021 at The Forum.
