Brighton Dome’s autumn season of classical music features an eclectic mix of renowned ensembles and new up and coming musicians.
The popular Sunday morning Coffee Concerts return with their most ambitious season to date, in an opportunity to experience high quality chamber music from across the centuries in the surrounds of the beautifully refurbished Corn Exchange, in association with Strings Attached.
This season includes London Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Oboist Olivier Stankiewicz performing one of Prokofiev’s most radical scores (20 Oct); prize-winning young violinist and Classic FM's Rising Star 2024 Charlotte Spruit, with Tom Foster on harpsichord (24 Nov); and the internationally acclaimed Atenea Quartet performing Haydn and a new commission from acclaimed Scottish composer Electra Perivolaris. Young people aged 8-25 can claim free tickets through the Cavatina scheme from Chamber Music Trust.
Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra celebrate a hundred years of music making with a special series of concerts featuring world-class soloists, including saxophone star Jess Gillam performing Górecki’s passionate Symphony of Sorrowful Songs (13 Oct), and percussionist Evelyn Glennie for a dazzling programme of music from the Scottish Highlands to fairy tales from Arabia (1 Dec).
Brighton Philharmonic Strings present a cinematic concert in which Bernard Herrmann’s suite from Psycho is balanced with Bach’s celestial keyboard concerto in F minor, and Ukraine’s most famous living composer Valentin Silvestrov’s delicate Silent Music for Strings (16 Nov).
London Philharmonic Orchestra Principal Conductor Edward Gardner visits Brighton Dome for the first time to conduct Sibelius with the iconic Patricia Kopatchinskaja on violin (5 Oct) and guest conductor Martin Rajna joins young British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason for a performance of Beethoven's fourth (and most personal) piano concerto (23 Nov).
With a history spanning more than 200 years, Brighton Dome is an extraordinary space in which to bring the arts alive. A recently completed major capital refurbishment project, to restore and protect the Grade I and Grade II listed Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre, supports an even wider programme of events for audiences.
