Next year is the Brighton Youth Orchestra's 60th year but celebrations start here with a gala concert.

Founded in 1944, the orchestra is the oldest independent youth orchestra in Europe and has a big reputation.

It has recently toured Hong Kong, plays regularly at the Royal Albert Hall and has a long association with Glyndebourne, collaborating with the opera house on Zoe, a full-length opera broadcast.

On Sunday the programme will be a challenging one.

The show comprises Shostakovich's 10th Symphony, Elgar's Cockaine Overture and Symphonic Variations by Franck.

The performance kicks off at 7.30pm.
