Concert TONIGHT- Don’t miss it!

Get excited for tonight’s concert, which promises to be a spectacular evening. Rach 2 and Mahler 9…! It’s an insanely amazing progamme, really.

Our soloist, Rebecca Baslov (KEHS), is just incredible, so it’s honestly a great opportunity to listen to Rachmaninov’s 2nd concerto if you have never heard it before. Your life is truly before and after you have experienced this concerto. If you have heard it before, I know that you’ve already booked tickets to hear it again!

If you missed last night’s Mahler 9 performance, it will totally be worth coming to see what all the fuss is about at 19:30, in the Ruddock Hall at the Performance Arts Centre.

Tickets are selling out quick, so try and book as soon as you can. Here is a link that will take you directly to the booking page: https://tickets.ruddockpac.co.uk/sales/events/ruddock-hall/choral–orchestral-concert-202/concert-2

And the poster for this evening, as a reminder:

Looking forward to seeing you there!
