An award-winning percussionist will be accompanied by the philharmonic orchestra this weekend.
Dame Evelyn Glennie joins Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) for a dazzling programme at the Brighton Dome on Sunday, December 1 at 2.45pm.
The percussionist will be performing one of her signature pieces, James MacMillan’s Veni, Veni, Emmanuel, written as a tribute to her virtuosic flair and charismatic personality.
The programme also includes Maxwell Davies’ An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade conducted by Geoffrey Paterson.
The BPO is marking its 100th anniversary with a season that will run until April next year.

The young conductor Geoffrey Paterson takes the helm once more after his debut with the BPO last season, starting with Peter Maxwell Davies’ An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise, filled with shouts of glee and a bagpiper.
After the interval, the beautiful Scheherazade tells the story of A Thousand and One Nights in Rimsky-Korsakov’s most popular and glittering score.
