The BBC Concert Orchestra presents Elgar’s timeless Enigma Variations, with the profoundly beautiful and universally recognised Nimrod at its heart.
Alongside this is Berners’ masterpiece A Wedding Bouquet, narrated by Zeb Soanes, with its catchy tango and waltz melodies. This is followed by the world premiere of the orchestral version of Dickinson’s delightful Unicorns Suite.
The mission of the BBC Concert Orchestra is to bring inspiring musical experiences to everyone, everywhere, with the ensemble’s versatility as the key.
