This year’s programme features acclaimed vocal ensemble Stile Antico, late-night Bach, pianist Ana Bursac, and the Bristol Symphony Orchestra with soprano Ana Beard Fernandez and mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston in Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony – one of the great live experiences in all of classical music.
