Summary
Gergely Madaras conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Jennifer Johnston at Hull City Hall in a programme of French suites, operatic arias, and traditional British patriotic anthems.
Why it's fantastic
Expect an evening of high emotion and collective singing, moving from the heartache of Dido’s Lament to the defiant roar of Jerusalem. You will recognize the defiant strains of the Habanera and the familiar, swaying melodies of Carousel, all building toward a celebratory finale that defines the British concert season.
