Nice moment for BFCS in the Yorkshire Post’s Culture Diary this week.
Haydn’s The Creation is such a luminous piece, and bringing it to St George’s Hall with the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra next month feels like a real celebration of Bradford’s musical life.
21 March is going to be a big night.
Delighted to welcome three exceptional artists to St George’s Hall for Haydn’s The Creation on 21 March.
Pasquale and Satriya are currently appearing with Opera North in Peter Grimes, and we’re thrilled to bring them to Bradford alongside John for this masterpiece.
