Join the Bristol Youth Orchestra for their dazzling concert to end the Spring term.
Don’t miss Saint-Saëns’ haunting dance of death in his masterpiece, ‘Danse Macabre’, followed by ‘Repair in Progress’; a challenging and exciting work for Percussion Ensemble, fizzing with energy and freneticism. Brass instruments take centre stage next, with Chris Hazell’s classic work ‘Mr Jums’ for Brass Ensemble and Strauss’s lyrical Horn Concerto, featuring Arthur Conyers. We close the evening with Tchaikovsky’s majestic 4th Symphony. This promises to be an unforgettable evening bursting with life and colour.
All aged between 12-18, Bristol Youth Orchestra is the city’s flagship youth instrumental ensemble, featuring over 80 of the most talented young musicians.
