As the world awaits news of the next James Bond, The Limelight Orchestra is inviting audiences to revisit the music that has defined 007 across the decades, with a spectacular live performance at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on Thursday 12 November.
For Bond fans, it is a chance to celebrate the iconic songs and unforgettable orchestral themes that have accompanied the world’s most famous secret agent, while anticipation builds for the next chapter in the franchise’s history.
Founded in the East Midlands, The Limelight Orchestra has built a reputation for ambitious live productions combining exceptional musicianship, imaginative orchestral arrangements and spectacular entertainment. Around 80% of the professional musicians, arrangers and creative talent it engages come from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, underlining its commitment to the region’s creative sector.
Having successfully toured its Bond show across the UK, including performances at iconic venues and cathedrals, the orchestra is bringing the production home for a special performance in its home city.
Featuring a magnificent 50-piece orchestra and powerhouse vocalists, The Music of James Bond will include classics such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, Skyfall and Writing’s on the Wall, celebrating the drama, sophistication and musical craftsmanship that have made the franchise’s soundtracks so enduring.
Founder and CEO Paul Murphy said: “We have enjoyed successful tours of our Bond show across the UK at iconic locations and cathedrals. This is our first chance to bring our special show to our hometown audience. We have lots of creative missions, while performing in Nottingham always holds a special place in our hearts.”
Presented in association with Aston Martin Nottingham and Marco Pierre White Restaurant Nottingham, the concert showcases the creative talent of the East Midlands on a spectacular scale.
