London Philharmonic Orchestra

The world-class London Philharmonic Orchestra visits one of Britain’s finest medieval cathedrals with a bespoke programme that explores the themes of love, lust and tragedy, and evokes the Middle Eastern theme of this year’s Festival.

Tchaikovsky’s enchanting fantasy-overture Romeo and Juliet and Dvorak’s ever-popular Cello Concerto prepare us for an exotic journey across the raging seas and through the bustling bazaars of Scheherazade, Rimsky-Korsakov’s colourful musical depiction of the Arabian Nights, perhaps the composer’s best-known and best-loved work and one in which he effortlessly demonstrates his brilliant mastery of orchestration.
