This special event is set to take place on Sunday, 25 August, at 5.00pm, in the heart of Bristol at the Bristol Beacon, located on Trenchard Street, BS1 5AR.

Under the baton of Ukrainian Chief Conductor Kirill Karabits, the orchestra will present a program that includes a mix of classical masterpieces and contemporary works.

The highlight of the evening will be the performance of Jennifer Higdon's vibrant Percussion Concerto, featuring the world-renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie as the soloist. This flamboyant piece promises to showcase Glennie's extraordinary talent and the dynamic range of the percussion repertoire.

Following this, the orchestra will delve into Tchaikovsky’s heart-on-sleeve Symphony No. 5, a work renowned for its emotional intensity and memorable melodies. Additionally, the concert will include "Knell" by Iranian composer Niloufar Nourbakhsh, a piece that offers a symbolic plea for peace, echoing back to the themes introduced by Akimenko's opening work.
