Norwich City Council has teamed up with Brian Dermott, who plays in the Norwich City Concert Band to draw up the programme.
He said: “It's really great to see people of all ages from the community bringing picnics along and listening to a very high standard of music. Let's hope the sunshine lasts throughout the rest of the summer.”
