Broadway Arts Festival - ‘An English Journey’ with The Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra

The Birmingham Philharmonic will be presenting a bespoke programme of English composers for the Broadway Arts Festival at the new Cidermill Theatre in Chipping Campden on the afternoon of Sunday 13th October 2024.

The Orchestra’s patron is the celebrated cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, who will be providing an introduction to the works to be performed to provide context, taking you on a journey that celebrates some of the very best English composers.

The programme will feature Elgar’s Cello Concerto and will take us on a journey of English music from Worcestershire and the West Country, finishing with Elgar’s Cockaigne Overture (In London Town).

A programme of exciting and moving music that is not only appealing to those new to classical music, but also seasoned classical music-lovers in a superb new arts venue with wonderful acoustics in the heart of beautiful Chipping Campden.

This is a not to be missed celebration of English classical music.
