Description
Fasten your seatbelts and let Bath Philharmonia launch you into the stratosphere for some of the most exhilarating orchestral music ever written as The Bath Festival's annual Concert for the People of Bath returns. This concert encourages future generations to develop their love of classical music and features global superstar Esther Yoo performing one of the fastest and most fantastical violin concertos in the world. Plus, a symphonic-sized Bath Philharmonia is joined by a choir of 120 young people opening-up their own worlds through song. And to complete the evening, Bath Phil present the theme tune to BBC's The Apprentice and the rhythmic vitality and epic power of Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird Suite - one of the most thrilling of all ballet scores.
