Performances of Arvo Pärt at BBC Orchestras and Choirs

Under the glow of Luke Jerram’s replica of our planet, hear a concert of heavenly works for strings, from Vaughan Williams to Hildur Guðnadóttir.

ROCK & CLASSICAL COLLIDE: Chloë Hanslip’s electric violin meets the sparkling energy of Estonian conductor Mihhail Gerts, with music of raw emotional power by Arvo Pärt and Eduard Tubin.

Musical fireworks ignite a new season as British violinist Chloë Hanslip performs Tchaikovsky’s thrilling Violin Concerto, and Mihhail Gerts explores the raw emotional power of Arvo Pärt (the world's most performed living composer at age 90!).

Benjamin Britten lives! 50 years to the day since his death in 1976, the Britten Sinfonia and the BBC Singers unleash the irrepressible life-force of Britten’s St Nicholas, the story of the saint who inspired the figure of Santa Claus.

Britten Sinfonia and the BBC Singers combine to realise Britten’s joyous cantata telling the tale of the saint that inspired Santa Claus – some of the composer’s brightest and boldest music.

Bridging three centuries of sacred music, the BBC Singers present a contemplative programme ahead of Holy Week, exploring the works of Dieterich Buxtehude and Arvo Pärt.

Experience a richly textured programme at St Davids Cathedral, led by Eduardo Strausser and featuring celebrated horn soloist Felix Klieser.
