ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra plays music by Dobrinka Tabakova, Jonny Greenwood, Burt Bacharach, Kuljit Bhamra and Malcolm Arnold.

Perhaps the most versatile of all ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ CO is at home just as much in film scores, musicals and popular classics as in more heavyweight repertoire and new commissions. Today's programme showcases that unique versatility with music that ranges from the contemporary classical composer Dobrinka Tabakova, though Jonny Greenwood, Jerome Kern and Burt Bacharach, to Malcolm Arnold whose music the orchestra has championed for many years at the annual International Malcolm Arnold Festival.

Introduced by Hannah French.
