| Performance Notes | One of Britains most beloved classical musicians, trumpet-player Alison Balsom, will return to the Royal Albert Hall next year for Alison Balsom and Friends.
The diverse programme includes Handels Fireworks Suite, Edith Piafs La Vie en Rose Dizzy Gillespies Tin Tin Deo. From performing extracts from Ebens Okna (Windows), with world class organist David Goode on the Royal Albert Halls 9,999 pipe organ, to a world premiere performance of music for turntables and trumpet by Gabriel Prokofiev, this special one-off show will also see the three-time Classic BRIT winner collaborate with fellow trumpeters, including Big Band favourite Guy Barker and Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel.
Alison made her Hall debut in 1994 as a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, and has since appeared here 16 times, enjoying her first headline show in October 2014. She has played a key role in our extensive Education & Outreach programme, and will again be sharing her knowledge and expertise with aspiring musicians through a series of innovative events as part of this show.
