Bringing together 300 talented amateur musicians, this special concert at Bristol Beacon will raise funds for Bristol Music Trust and Help Musicians, supporting music-making and musicians at every stage of their careers.
Internationally acclaimed concert pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason joins the line-up to perform Gershwin’s Concerto in F, alongside Walton’s epic cantata Belshazzar’s Feast, featuring baritone soloist Gavin Carr. The programme also includes two world premieres by West Country composers Tom Green and Liz Lane. Green’s Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind reworks musical themes from Walton’s piece, while Lane’s Precious Stones brings together brass and percussion in a vibrant new composition.
A celebration of local musical talent and the power of music, every penny raised through ticket sales and donations will go directly to the two charities.
