A 20-strong orchestra will play music by Pink Floyd in the first outdoor concert to be held at Conyngham Hall in Knaresborough.
Paradox Orchestra will perform hits such as Wish You Were Here, Money, and Comfortably Numb in an event on September 3 celebrating 50 years of one of the most influential rock groups in history.
The grounds of the grade two listed venue near the River Nidd in Knaresborough can hold up to 2,000 people.
A number of food and drink vendors will also attend the concert by candlelight to give it a festival feel.
Paradox Orchestra features classically-trained musicians who reimagine rock, pop, and dance classics.
Founder and artistic director Michael Sluman said:
“Like a sonic time machine, Pink Floyd’s music has taken us on a journey through the past 50 years, capturing the essence of each era and leaving an indelible mark on the history of music.
“Paradox Orchestra is looking forward to performing their greatest hits in such a stunning backdrop.”
“We promise audiences an incredibly high-level of musicianship on stage, as well as a showmanship associated with world-class large-scale orchestras.”
Tickets cost £25. Further information is available here.
