Pray silence for the Great Bard - though this concertwill be anything but quiet - with battles, weddings, jovial japes and dazzling dances aplenty. There's warmongering from Walton, magic from Mendelssohn, pomp from Prokofiev, and bravado from Bernstein as we take you on an orchestral adventure through scenes from the great stage masterpieces of William Shakespeare. Travel 'on location' with us to Agincourt, Athens, Verona and New York with music written for
films, musicals, ballets and the plays themselves. Is this a spectacle I see before me? It certainly is!

Foyer Events throughout the morning: You can try your hand at playing an orchestral instrument in one of our Have-a-Go sessions, get your face painted or learn circus skills - all in the foyers before and after the performance.
