This special charity concert brings together 300 talented local musicians to perform Walton’s epic, vibrant and jazz-inflected cantata Belshazzar’s Feast, also featuring baritone soloist Gavin Carr.
Internationally acclaimed pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason will perform Gershwin’s Concerto in F and the programme also includes two world premieres by West Country composers Tom Green and Liz Lane.
Green’s Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind reworks musical themes from Walton’s piece, while Lane’s Precious Stones brings together brass and percussion in an exciting new composition.
A celebration of local musical talent and the power of music, every penny raised by the concert through ticket sales and donations will go directly to Bristol Music Trust and Help Musicians, supporting music-making and musicians at every stage of their careers.
