Bath Abbey

Dive into a night of orchestral brilliance with Bath Philharmonia as we journey through iconic landscapes of sound. Jean Sibelius’ Karelia Suite opens with stirring, folk themes celebrating the rich heritage of Finland. Dani Howard’s Trombone Concerto, performed by virtuoso soloist Peter Moore [BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist 2015–17], illuminates the resilience of the human spirit in times of hardship. Errollyn Wallen’s Mighty River, composed to mark the bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade in Britain, flows with rhythmic vitality and cultural resonance, echoing the cries and echoes of human hearts and voices. The programme culminates in Borodin’s hypnotic and theatrical Polovtsian Dances. Under the direction of dynamic conductor Michael Seal [Associate Conductor, CBSO], this concert invites audiences to feel the pulse of society, the drama of human experience, and the exhilarating power of music.
