Expect colour, flair and irresistible musical energy as the orchestra brings the spirit of Spain to life through Chabrier, Bizet, Saint‑Saëns (with soloist Shree Rao of Reading Youth Orchestra) and Rimsky‑Korsakov.
The bar opens 45 minutes before the concert, so arrive early to enjoy a drink, take in the stunning setting, and soak up the pre‑concert buzz.

Camille Saint-Saëns – Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (soloist: Shree Rao)
