For the first major concert of the year, the Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Professor Peter Morris, joins forces with our actors, singers and a host of special guests for a vibrant celebration of the many ways William Shakespeare has inspired music across the centuries.
From Renaissance music that surrounded Shakespeare in his own lifetime, to opera, theatre and modern works, this concert explores the extraordinary breadth of music shaped by his words and characters.
Enjoy Mendelssohn's iconic A Midsummer Night's Dream, enriched with spoken Shakespearean text, alongside selections from West Side Story, radiant choral works by John Rutter, and further repertoire that reveals Shakespeare's timeless influence on music.
