A powerful musical journey, told through some of the greatest melodies ever written.

Powerful music, big ideas, and unforgettable moments.

The Strasbourg Philharmonic unleashes a thrilling journey from Saint‑Saëns’s eerie Danse macabre to Prokofiev’s dazzling Violin Concerto No. 1, before soaring through Rachmaninov’s sweeping Symphony No. 2 – an evening of drama, virtuosity and heart‑stirring romance.

Song, dance and a tale as old as time: the BBC Symphony Orchestra summons the spirit of Orpheus, in music by Gluck, Stravinsky and Missy Mazzoli.

When words fail, music speaks.

Experience a symphony that moved the world.

Experience music that is bold, original, and full of life.

The raw power of Shostakovich’s Fourth Symphony meets the anguished humanity of John Adams and Walt Whitman: Jukka-Pekka Saraste explores the terror and compassion of 20th century music.

When human voices come together in harmony, nothing can match their power.

Passion and playfulness collide.

Swirling ball scene, grotesque witches dance, brutal execution and fatal attraction. Sakari Oramo pairs Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique with the equally fervid imagination of Alban Berg.

A programme of dance-inspired music including one of Mozart’s most elegant and joyful piano concertos, No. 21 in C, and Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. In between, Manu Martin’s Fantasy of Companionship and Ukrainian composer Ivan Nebesnyy’s Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Suite, with a Brahms Hungarian Dance to open the evening.

Renée Fleming returns. Don’t miss the chance to hear one of the great voices of our time.
