Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra & Bfd Festival Choral Society

Bradford Festival Choral Society, in collaboration with the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra, presents a dramatic and diverse concert - promising to captivate audiences with its blend of contemporary and classical masterpieces.

The concert opens with the first Northern performance of Reena Esmail's This Love Between Us: A Prayer for Unity, a captivating work bridging Indian and Western musical traditions. The music weaves a rich tapestry uniting two different musical traditions.  The chorus, orchestra and soloists are joined by sitar and tabla as sound worlds merge together.

Following the interval, the massed musical forces perform Carl Orff's iconic Carmina Burana. Packed with dramatic intensity, bold tunes and exhilarating percussion, Carmina Burana features the famous O Fortuna, a piece synonymous with epic soundscapes.

Together, these two works create an evening of profound emotional and musical contrasts, showcasing the talents of Bradford Festival Choral Society and the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra. This concert is not only a celebration of diverse musical traditions but also a testament to the power of music to convey universal themes and connect people across cultures and centuries.
