From cancer support to Classics Galore!

The FORCE podcast returns with a Series 2 opening episode featuring Posy Passmore.
She and her late husband, Dick, chose to thank FORCE for the support they received during the 19 years he lived with cancer with a series of fundraising events, most notably Classics Galore!
Posy tells us how the couple first became involved with FORCE and how Classics grew over the years and has raised more than £110,000 for our charity.
Classics is back for 2022. Exeter’s very own Last Night of the Proms will be held at the University of Exeter Great Hall on Saturday November 12.
It’s billed as one of Exeter’s biggest and best-loved indoor musical extravaganzas with around 200 top musicians and singers – a full orchestra, a brass band and two choral societies and their friends – will perform a variety of light classical favourites and rousing singalongs under musical director Malcolm Matthews and orchestra leader, Sarah Greinig.
The programme includes: Raiders of the Lost Ark (Williams), Zadok the Priest (Handel), Radetzky March (J Strauss I), The Sound of Music medley (Rodgers arr. Hazell) and a Proms style finale.
There will be two new faces at the concert this year.
Soloist for the evening will be soprano Cheryl Enever, who has worked with the BBC singers, the Royal Opera House and sung for royalty.
Cheryl will be joined on stage by compère Justin Leigh, the popular local broadcaster , who cannot wait to be Master of Ceremonies and to make his Classics debut.
Tickets for Classics Galore! 2022 are on sale, priced between £12 and £28. They are available at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/classics-galore-exeter
