Performance NotesClassic FM returns to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time in two years, for a spectacular celebration of the very best classical music.

Georgian piano virtuoso Khatia Buniatishvili will play an enduring favourite in the Classic FM Hall of Fame – Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 – and superstar violinist Nigel Kennedy will perform a medley of melodies from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and an original piece for violin.

Playing alongside the world-class soloists is the Chineke! Orchestra, directed by the dynamic American conductor Damon Gupton. They also perform music by Mozart and Grieg plus the Ballade in A minor by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor – a composer with a special association to the Royal Albert Hall.

The concert, hosted by Classic FM presenters Alexander Armstrong and Margherita Taylor, will also feature an unmissable lights-and-fireworks finale to the sound of Tchaikovsky’s mighty 1812 Overture.

So, book your tickets now to secure your place at one of the biggest nights in the classical music calendar!
