Handel's Messiah

Brangwyn Hall

Set on a Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, a tale of love, friendship and identity is irresistibly told through the timeless hits of ABBA.

Mamma Mia!

Swansea Building Society Arena

Inspired by the Italian sun and hearty dances he played with his Hungarian violinist friend in his youth, Brahms' gloriously lyrical Violin Concerto seems to express the very soul of the violin. From its soaring, dreamy and majestic melodies to the boisterous lilt of the finale, its uncompromising demand for virtuoso playing makes it the perfect showcase for any violinist, and we're delighted to welcome back the acclaimed Johan Dalene in the solo role.

Old meets new in Górecki's Three Pieces in Old Style. Inspired by papers on old Polish music and heavily influenced by modal music combined with folk, these charming pieces encapsulate the sonorous charms of both Górecki's music and his writing for strings.

Bringing the power of opera to the concert platform, Mozart's penultimate symphony is a passionate masterclass in tension and release. The darkly intense opening movement gives way to a lighter more lyrical Andante and light and shade abound as a terse Minuet leads to a colourful Trio before the anguishingly turbulent finale ramps this masterpiece to a close.

Josh Widdicombe: Not My Cup of Tea

Beethoven's Violin Concerto is so popular with audiences today that it's perhaps surprising it hardly made an impact at its premiere. Opening with an almost jazz drum tap the expansively elegant opening movement makes way for a set of theme and variations, serene and beauteous, before a catchy and lively Rondo bursts into energy to round off the work, performed by the inimitable Veronika Eberle.
