Cygnet Proms 2026

Thurs 30th Apr – Sat 2nd May, 2026
St Barnabas Church , Southfields

After a successful inaugural concert back in 2023, Cygnet Players are delighted to bring
back Cygnet Proms in 2026. Like last time, this will be a concert to showcase an orchestra of talented musicians involved in the amateur theatre circuit, accompanied by a choir of singers. The theme of this year’s Proms will be “musicals through the ages”, with Act 1
focussing on the golden/classic era and Act 2 exploring more contemporary repertoire and Act 3 with modern musicals including this year’s Golden Globe-winning “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters.
