A
gig
on Saturday 4th July. The event starts at 20:00.
An irresistible opportunity to hear the magnificent Organ Symphony by Saint-Sa ns in one of Bristol's most remarkable buildings (described by Queen Elizabeth I as"the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England") complete with St Mary Redcliffe's 71-stop, 4,327-pipe Harrison & Harrison organ.
With the ravishing Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Vaughan Williams for strings, a Fanfare for brass from La P ri by Dukas, the Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss with soprano soloist Laura Curry and Borodin's exhilarating Polovstian Dances (with the choirs of St Mary Redcliffe Church) - all very different, but sure to sound incredible in this amazing building - an unmissable evening of music awaits this summer.
