ROUSING singing, rhythmic flag-waving and breathtaking fireworks - it must be the English Symphony Orchestra again.

The musicians, led by William Boughton, are returning fo Malvern's Three Counties Showground on Saturday for their summer spectacular - this year an American celebration.

Some of the USA's most exhillarating pieces are on the bill, including songs from hit shows performed by Emma Silversides, Jeremy Huw Wiliams and Philip Sheffield.

New to the event this year is the Balloon Nightglow which, once the sky darkens, sees illuminated hot air balloons ascend above the orchestra.

Of course, the rousing finale will be accompanied by spectacular fireworks. Audience members are encouraged to bring chairs and a picnic to enjoy pieces by the likes of Copland, Rodgers and Hammerstein and Gershwin.

Ticket prices on the day are £16 with discounts for groups but there is also one free child's ticket for every adult one.
