This event is now in the past
Join Fantasia for our first concert following our debut at the BBC Proms! Musical giants of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries come together for a programme that explores diverse styles and genres.
From meditative Pärt and smooth Duke Ellington to virtuosic Ligeti and trailblazing Alberga, come for an exciting evening of music that features Fantasia's strings and percussion.
Star horn player Ben Goldscheider and tenor Toby Spence join us to perform in Britten's iconic Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, a beautiful work that will soar through the gothic church of St Gabriel's Pimlico.
