Stage & Screen

The Derby Concert Orchestra are bringing their Stage & Screen format to Derby Cathedral on Saturday 10 July 2027, with the concert starting at 7:00pm. It's a summer night of popular music, and the whole thing is conducted by Jack Capstaff.

The Stage & Screen name tells you exactly how the evening works: the orchestra plays live in the cathedral, with a screen running alongside them for the audience to watch. It's a popular music programme, so you'll be hearing familiar songs rather than a classical recital, and the live orchestra is the main event. Capstaff is a regular presence for the DCO, and he's the one leading the night.

To get a feel for what the orchestra does, it helps to know where this fits into their wider work. They run a range of classical and accessible concerts throughout the year, with a few that have become fixtures: there's an annual Christmas Extravaganza, also conducted by Jack Capstaff, and a children's concert aimed at young families. This Stage & Screen night sits on the accessible side of that mix, with the popular music programme and the screen as the focus. The orchestra also supports a charity of the season, and this year that's Treetops.

So, the details are Derby Cathedral, Saturday 10 July 2027, starting at 7:00pm, with the Derby Concert Orchestra playing popular music conducted by Jack Capstaff.
