1. Beth Hart

New fans might know Beth as the all-conquering global icon, dubbed 'extraordinary' by The Times and 'daring, brooding and angry' by The Guardian. But to understand her rollercoaster backstory, you need only read the War In My Mind lyric sheet.

2. Evelyn Glennie and Scheherazade

We’re thrilled that one of Britain’s greatest and pioneering musicians, the extraordinary percussionist Evelyn Glennie, will be joining us to perform one of her signature pieces: James MacMillan’s Veni, Veni, Emmanuel, written as a tribute to her virtuosic flair and charismatic personality. Taking the Advent plainsong as the basis of the work, this is a tour de force and still packs the punch it had at its BBC Proms premiere twenty years ago. Now in the pantheon of contemporary classics, it still sounds wonderfully imaginative, rhythmically impulsive and vibrantly colourful, and will be an unforgettable experience.
