Orchestra brings music to city on double-decker bus

An exciting event is set to take place in Hull, where an orchestra will perform live music from a double-decker bus! This unique event, titled 'Now That’s What I Call an Orchestra', is scheduled for September 14 and 15. The bus will travel through the streets of Hull, bringing free music to the community. People will be able to enjoy a variety of songs, including popular hits and soundtracks from their favorite movies. A performer will be dressed in a vibrant outfit, complete with blue sunglasses, a yellow and blue dress with large cape-like sleeves, and white knee-high boots. She will greet everyone at the entrance of the bus, which is decorated with shiny silver curtains and colorful 'Back to Ours' posters. This event is organized by Back to Ours, a charity based in Hull that is known for providing unique arts and cultural experiences. Louise Yates, the artist director and CEO of Back to Ours, expressed her pride in the charity's commitment to a 'hyper-local approach'. She emphasized that all their events are deeply rooted in the community. Louise stated, 'Our events are always about people coming together, experiencing something special, and importantly, having a good time. ' She finds joy in seeing crowds gather with smiles on their faces, and it truly warms her heart. The orchestra will be performing a mix of modern classics and movie soundtracks, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone. The event is partially funded by Hull City Council, and the best part is that no tickets are required! This means that residents can simply show up and join in the fun.
