British music 'mashup' at Olympic closing ceremony
Friday, February 24, 2012
LONDON (AP) — London organisers say the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics will be themed "A Symphony of British Music" — a hit-packed journey ranging from classical composer Edward Elgar to chart-topping singer-songwriter Adele.
Artistic director Kim Gavin says the August 12 show will be an "elegant mashup of British music" packed with recognisable songs arranged symphonically. The London Symphony Orchestra will provide musical backing.
Gavin, who has overseen tours for the band Take That and directed the 2007 Princess Diana memorial concert, says the closing ceremony will be "the biggest after-show party — the show being the sport."
The creative team revealed some details of the closing ceremony yesterday, but are keeping the names of many artistes involved under wraps. The games start July 27.
