About our programmes

Want to know a little more about the music?

We've asked some brilliant writers to share their insights into the amazing pieces we're playing this season. You can read the notes online, or download a PDF of the full concert programme.

If you'd prefer a printed programme, you can pre-order your concert programme here and it'll be available for you to collect on the day of the concert. Just show your voucher at the programme desk before heading into the performance.
