Adapted by Paul Allen Based on the Screenplay by Mark Herman With John McArdle (Brookside, Merseybeat) as Danny We are proud to present the Touring Consortium and York Theatre Royal’s production of Brassed Off directed by Damian Cruden (Olivier Award-winner for ‘The Railway Children’). It is 1992: Grimley Colliery faces the threat of closure and the future of the brass band seems uncertain. With the miners torn between redundancy packages and the picket lines, band-leader Danny’s hopes of winning the national brass band competition seem like a distant dream. But the arrival of flugelhornplaying Gloria brings hope, romance and controversy to the Yorkshire brass band. Featuring rousing live music, including Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez and Jerusalem, Brassed Off is a funny and heart-warming drama that reaches stirring heights as a locally-cast Brass Band performs the final scene (set in the Royal Albert Hall), live on the stage. Passionate and inspiring, Brassed Off is a celebration of human endeavour and community spirit against all the odds.

Boldly shattering the traditional concept of swans in tutus, and blending dance, humour and spectacle with extravagant award-winning designs by Lez Brotherston and lighting by Rick Fisher, Matthew Bourne has created a passionate and contemporary Swan Lake for our times.

Founded by Anatoly Grindenko in 1983, The Russian Patriarchate Choir of Moscow consists of 12 members, including Grindenko. As well as performing both in Russia and internationally, the singers are dedicated scholars of the repertoire for male voices who led the way in the rediscovery of Orthodox Church music in the late years of the Soviet regime.
At this time – when this music was far from approved by the government – the choir spent years decoding ancient manuscripts and giving the first performances of works that had lain in obscurity for centuries. With the collapse of the Soviet Union came the opportunity for them to perform internationally and bring this music to a wider public. ‘The fine male voices create a powerful atmosphere of energy and devotion, of fluency and a spontaneity that effectively blends refinement with rawness’ The Daily Telegraph

Sinfonia Viva
Conductor Andrew Gourlay Soprano Katherine Broderick Soprano Lydia Teuscher Tenor Andrew Staples Nottingham Harmonic Choir Rising star Andrew Gourlay conducts this concert of contrasts beginning with Sibelius’s atmospheric Pelléas et Mélisande which became one of his most popular works. Mendelssohn’s Lobgesang, or ‘Hymn of Praise’, was the composer’s great choral symphony. His most ambitious symphonic creation, it celebrated the 400th anniversary of the invention of the Gutenberg press and its role in the Reformation. Like Beethoven’s Ninth, it ends with an expansive final choral movement, the culmination of a journey from darkness to light. Tickets £32.50 – £10*

Classic FM’s Margherita Taylor introduces this evening of film and TV scores including Goldfinger, Midnight Cowboy, Body Heat, The Persuaders and Dances with Wolves, performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Tickets £35 – £15*
