We join Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus with some fantastic soloists for a wonderful evening of music.

Well known to Sheffield audiences, Darius Battiwalla performs Poulenc’s dramatic Organ Concerto, a work noted for its creative use of the instrument and intricate orchestrations that simply burst with energy. The concert opens with one of Saint-Saëns’s most popular works, his comical suite, The Carnival of the Animals. The novel use of two pianos as well as the full orchestra really brings this zoological fantasy to life.
