Echoes of the Past, Voices of the Future

We’re thrilled to announce our 2025 concert series, Echoes of the Past, Voices of the Future, where the power of music to connect past and future takes centre stage. This series embodies the spirit of 'Nowstalgia'—a celebration of the rich legacy of orchestral music alongside bold, transformative sounds that are reshaping the future of the art form.

From Bach’s timeless Well-Tempered Clavier to the boundary-pushing Refractions by Manchester Collective x Clark, we’ll be bridging centuries of music, bringing together iconic masterpieces and daring new creations. Whether it's the celestial majesty of Holst’s The Planets, the intense emotion of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, or the premiere of Jeffrey Ching's latest composition, each concert promises a journey through the echoes of history and the voices of tomorrow.

?? 2025 Highlights:

• German National Orchestra (17 Jan): From Britten to Gershwin, to Holst’s The Planets
• Pierre-Laurent Aimard (30 Jan): A rare performance of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II
