The final concert of the 2013 Festival is set to “raise the roof” of  Evesham Arts Centre. Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and soloists (including the winner of the Evesham Musician of the Year Competition) combine to make this Gala Night a special occasion.

This year’s programme will be conducted by the acclaimed conductor Michael Lloyd and will include popular works by Vivaldi,  Britten and Strauss.  Highlights of the concert include performances of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Mozart’s Laudate Dominum.
