Programme Note
An Evening of Symphonic Prog Rock:
The Thames Valley Festival Orchestra returns to Dorchester Abbey, Oxfordshire on September 20, 2025 for a performance of ‘An Evening of Symphonic Prog Rock’. This follows their sell-out performance of ‘A Symphonic Tribute to Queen’ in April 2024. The 65 piece symphony orchestra with rhythm section will fill the Abbey with the music of the most iconic British prog rock bands of the 70s and 80s. The concert will feature symphonic arrangements by the legendary Dee Palmer of the music of Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Queen. Perennial favourites will be performed such as ‘Follow You, Follow Me’ (Genesis), ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ and ‘Roundabout’ (Yes), ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ and ‘Wish You were Here’ (Pink Floyd), ‘Elegy’ and ‘Aqualung’ (Jethro Tull), ‘Tie Your Mother Down’, ‘Somebody to Love’ and ‘We are the Champions’ (Queen) and many more.
