Musicians from Manchester鈥檚 ensembles assemble under the baton of Alpesh Chauhan for a concert of fanfares and flourishes to celebrate the finale of a spectacular weekend of music.

The concert begins with John Adams鈥� joyfully exuberant fanfare for orchestra, Short Ride in a Fast Machine, followed by Iain Farrington鈥檚 world premiere for orchestra and choir, inspired by Manchester鈥檚 industrial past. The choral forces remain for Borodin鈥檚 Polovtsian Dances, the exciting climax to the second act of Borodin鈥檚 opera, Prince Igor. The concert comes to a thrilling conclusion with Respighi鈥檚 Pines of Rome, the second of three tone poems Respighi wrote to recall the glory of the Roman Empire. Ending with stunning brass fanfares, the piece will raise the roof of The Bridgewater Hall in a vibrant celebration of Manchester鈥檚 dynamic classical music scene.
