Conductor: Cliff Matserson
After the roaring success of last year’s event, the ‘club vs classical’ event is back for its second year. The event showcases some of the greatest dance floor classics of all time, re-imagined and performed live by the original artists and the 50-piece symphony Orchestra of Opera North, supported by Heart Radio.
Featuring live performances by Utah Saints, Janice Robinson, along with two-time UK number one vocalist Kelli-Leigh and singer-songwriter Karen Harding, the evening promised to be filled with some of the biggest club hits of the last three decades including: Something Good, Dreamer, More Than Friends and Say Something, plus Club Anthems from the music of Sigala, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta and many more. The evening was brilliantly compèred by Heart FM’s Dixie who is a pure crowd pleaser.
The show was arranged and conducted by Cliff Masterson who also makes a guest singing appearance – brilliant.
It was disappointing though that our headline act – Utah Saints – were bigged up all night for them to finally come on stage to perform just one song!
After 80’s Classical last night, this critic has had such an awesome weekend and Leeds Millennium Square has never felt so alive. Oh what a night!
