About CBSO 2024/25: Abbey Road Concerto

Age Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult 18+

Running time This concert will last approximately 2 hours.

Come Together with the Beatles, Braunstein, Britten, and other great British works.

Howard’s glittering Argentum was written for the silver anniversary of Classic FM, while Anna Meredith was inspired by ‘stomping along a beach in Scotland’ for Nautilus. Violinist Guy Braunstein combines the Beatles’ Abbey Road with the orchestra in the UK Premiere of his new concerto, under the baton of Eivind Gullberg Jensen. Plus, Vaughan Williams’ inspiring The Lark Ascending, Elgar’s short-but-sweet Elegy, and Britten’s famous Sea Interludes.
